How to make pastries Easter wreath? Measure the necessary products. Remove the mummer from the refrigerator in advance so that it warms up to room temperature. Lightly heat the milk. Take wheat flour at least the highest grade.
Sift the flour into a wide bowl with high sides to enrich it with oxygen. Thanks to this, the dough will rise better, and the pastries will be lush and airy.
Do the opara first. Add sugar and flour for it from the total amount. In a bowl, combine the yeast, 1 tsp sugar and half (75ml) warm milk. Mix everything well.
Pour in 35 grams of sifted flour, stir with a whisk until the lumps are gone.
A homogeneous mass of the consistency of liquid sour cream should be obtained. Cover the bread with a light towel and leave for 15-20 minutes to lift.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove and cool a little.

The dough is still very viscous. Pour the rest of the flour in small portions, while stirring the dough. It is very important not to add excessive amounts of flour so that the dough does not turn out too cool.
Use your hands to knead the dough. It turns out to be homogeneous, soft, not sticky to the hands. Cover the bowl with a towel and leave in a warm place to lift for 60-90 minutes. .

Gently wash the dough, put it on a table sprinkled with flour. Roll the dough into a rectangular layer about 0. 5cm thick. Brush the dough with soft butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar.
I cut candied fruits into smaller pieces. Spread candied fruits over the entire surface of the dough layer.
Roll the dough in length into a roll.
Roll the roll into a ring and gently transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Pinch the ends of the roll.
With a sharp knife, cut the ring into the 4 part, without cutting to the end.
Then cut each part into another 4 segments, also without cutting to the end. This will result in 16 segments.
Gently lift the lying cut parts of the dough and unfold in opposite directions so that the slice is on top. It turns out, as it were, a heart shape, similar to a teddy bun. And outwardly, the pie resembles a wreath.
Repeat the same steps for all test segments. Cover the future cake with cling film or a light towel and leave to stand for about 20 minutes.
