Ingredients

• ✓ pearl sugar
• active dry yeast
• white sugar
• milk
• egg
• butter
• vanilla extract
• flour
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Sprinkle yeast and white sugar over warm milk in a small bowl. The milk should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 15 minutes until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
2. 2 Whisk eggs, melted butter, and vanilla into the yeast mixture until evenly blended; set aside.
3. 3 Stir together flour and salt in a separate large bowl, and make a well in the center. Pour the egg mixture into the well, then stir in the flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place, 80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C), until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes. Gently mix in the pearl sugar.
4. 4 Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
5. 5 Place a baseball-sized ball of dough on the preheated waffle iron. Cook waffles until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Allow waffles to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.

Ingredients

• ✓ pearl sugar
• water
• egg
• panettone form
• butter
• salt
• instant yeast
• white sugar
• bread flour
• egg
• saffron
• milk
• candied lemon peel
• candied orange peel
• cointreau
• raisin
• water
• instant yeast
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Prepare the sponge the night before you mix the dough: Mix 1.5 cups all-purpose flour with 1/8 teaspoon yeast in a bowl. Add 2/3 cup cool water. Cover with plastic wrap and let sponge stand at room temperature 8 hours to overnight.
2. 2 Toss raisins with Cointreau in a bowl. Mix orange and lemon peel in with raisins and add an extra tablespoon of Cointreau and let them soften, if they are on the hard side. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 8 hours to overnight.
3. 3 Pour milk into a saucepan and crumble in saffron threads; heat just to a simmer. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer, taking care to get all of the saffron bits into the bowl. Let cool to just barely warm (110 degrees F) or room temperature.
4. 4 Transfer sponge to a mixing bowl, breaking up slightly with a spoon. Mix in eggs, stirring a few times by hand. Add 2 1/3 cups bread flour, sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast, and salt. Mix with the paddle attachment on low speed for about 5 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl occasionally; the dough will be very loose.
5. 5 Switch to the dough hook attachment and increase speed to medium. Add butter, one piece at a time, mixing until each piece is fully incorporated. Increase to high speed for 1 minute if the mixer can handle it; the dough should be climbing the dough hook and starting to clear the sides of the bowl. Add soaked raisins, orange peel, and lemon peel. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes; the fruit may not be fully dispersed.
6. 6 Transfer dough to a greased bowl. Flop the dough over itself a couple of times (it's a little too wet to fold), cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let rise for 60 minutes.
7. 7 Fold dough a few times to release gas and mix in fruit. Cover again with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
8. 8 Turn the dough onto a floured work space. Divide in half and shape into 2 balls. Place each ball seam-side down in a 6" paper panettone form and set on a baking sheet. Beat egg with water, and brush egg wash onto each loaf. Cover panettone forms loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 90 minutes.
9. 9 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
10. 10 Brush loaves with egg wash again and sprinkle pearl sugar on top.
11. 11 Place baking sheet in the hot oven, immediately reducing the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
12. 12 Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until a tester inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean, about 20 minutes more. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Ingredients

• ✓ pearl sugar
• milk
• white sugar
• active dry yeast
• butter
• egg
• all-purpose flour
• cardamom
• salt
• blueberry
• white sugar
• orange juice
• almond extract
• vanilla extract
• egg
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Combine milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
2. 2 Add remaining sugar, butter, and eggs to the milk mixture. Stir until mostly combined, but it won't be smooth.
3. 3 Measure flour, cardamom, and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer. Pour in wet ingredients and attach dough hook. Mix until dough comes together in a shaggy mass. Cover the stand mixer with a clean dish towel and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
4. 4 Uncover the dough and knead on medium speed until smooth, about 5 minutes. Continue to knead on low speed until dough is soft, elastic, and shiny, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
5. 5 Meanwhile, make the blueberry filling. Combine blueberries, sugar, and orange juice in a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to a low boil. Smash the blueberries with a potato masher. Continue to simmer until the mixture has thickened enough to spread, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in extracts. Chill until completely cool.
6. 6 Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Punch down and divide into 2 pieces. Roll 1 piece into a 9x18-inch rectangle, squaring off with a bench scraper as you roll to make it is as even as possible. Spread 1/2 of the blueberry filling over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border. Roll up the dough into a tight roll, starting from the long edge closest to you. Pinch seams to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
7. 7 Place logs side by side on a lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
8. 8 Use a sharp knife or bench scraper to each log in half, lengthwise, so you have 4 filled strips of dough on the baking sheet.
9. 9 Place 2 strips across each other to form a plus sign. Arrange the remaining 2 strips to form an interlocking cross. Fold the end of the strip closest to you over the strip to its right. Repeat 3 more times, moving clockwise. Fold remaining strips over to the left, moving counterclockwise. Repeat folding step until only short ends remain; join ends and tuck them carefully under the braid.
10. 10 Cover the braid and place in a warm place to rise for 45 minutes.
11. 11 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) towards the end of the second rise.
12. 12 Beat egg with a pinch of salt and brush some over the braid. Sprinkle with pearl sugar.
13. 13 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool completely before slicing.

Ingredients

• ✓ pearl sugar
• whole milk
• white sugar
• water
• butter
• active dry yeast
• all-purpose flour
• cinnamon
• cardamom
• butter
• raisin
• walnut
• egg
• water
• almond

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk together warm milk, 1/2 cup sugar, warm water, and 2 tablespoons melted butter in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle yeast over the top and set aside for 5 minutes.
2. 2 Once yeast is foamy, stir in flour, adding more as needed to form a stiff dough. When dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place into an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
3. 3 Combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom in a small bowl; set aside.
4. 4 Deflate dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 9x13-inch rectangle and brush with 1/2 cup melted butter. Sprinkle with cardamom-sugar mixture, raisins, and walnuts. Roll into a log, pinch the edges closed, and place onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover with a cloth and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
6. 6 Using a sharp knife, score the top layer of the roll with V-shapes that don't quite meet in the middle, the whole length of the roll. This will give the bread an attractive braided appearance, but can be skipped.
7. 7 Beat egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until well combined; brush over the top of bread. Sprinkle with almonds and pearl sugar.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
