Ingredients

For buns:

• 800 g flour;
• 1 tablespoon of salt;
• 15 g fast-acting yeast;
• 400 ml of milk;
• 60 g butter;
• 2 eggs.

For filling:

• 400 g of a mixture of chopped dried fruits, nuts and sugar;
• 1 apple;
• 1 pear;
• 75 g chopped pistachios;
• 100 g candied fruits;
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon;
• 25 g butter.

For glaze:

• 3 tablespoons of apricot jam;
• 200 g of powdered sugar;
• grated zest of one orange;
• 40 g candied fruits;
• 25 g chopped pistachios.

Cooking

Sprinkle salt and yeast into flour. Pour the butter into the milk and heat the mixture. When the butter is melted, pour the mixture into the flour. Add eggs and stir.

Turn the mixture out onto a floured surface and knead for about five minutes until the dough is elastic. Transfer it to a bowl greased with vegetable oil, cover with a towel and leave for an hour to rise.

In the meantime, combine dried fruit, nuts and sugar mixture, peeled and chopped apple and pear, orange zest, pistachios, candied fruits and cinnamon.

Then, on a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 50 x 45 cm sheet. Brush it with melted butter. Then spread the sweet filling over the dough, leaving 2 cm around the edges.

Carefully roll up the roll and cut off the edges. Cut the roll into 15 pieces with a sharp knife. Lay the buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet so that you get a Christmas tree. There should be space between the buns, but not much, so that when they rise, they come into contact with each other. Form a tree trunk from the rest of the dough.

Cover the Christmas tree with a clean towel and leave for another 30-45 minutes. Then remove the towel and put the baking sheet in the oven preheated to 190 ° C for 20-25 minutes, until the buns are browned. If you notice that they are turning brown too quickly during baking, cover them with foil.

Melt the apricot jam in a saucepan with a little water. Spread it on slightly cooled buns and leave to cool completely.

Mix powdered sugar, orange zest and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Transfer to a plastic bag, cut off the tip and draw garlands on the Christmas tree with icing. Sprinkle with candied fruits and pistachios.
