Christmas Fruit and Nut Braid

Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Mix flour, salt, cinnamon, lemon zest and dry yeast in a bowl. Cut the dried fruit into small pieces and add to the flour mixture together with the nuts. Add the buttermilk. Knead everything well with a food processor for about 10 minutes.

Then place the dough in a bowl lined with oil, cover with a damp tea towel and let rise for about 1 hour. The volume of the dough must have doubled.

Then divide the dough into three parts and form them into even strands. Braid a plait and place it on the prepared tray. Cover with a tea towel and let rise again for about 30 minutes.

Then place in the hot oven and let the braid bake for about 30 minutes. Let cool well on a cooling rack.

In the meantime, prepare a glaze using powdered sugar, orange oil and water. Spread over the plait and sprinkle with the toasted almond leaves.
