Recipe steps

Before starting I have to tell you that I have made it with the puff pastry sheets separately, but you can also put one on top of the other, the only thing is that if you do it like this you have to let the puff pastry cool well when you take it out of the oven , cut it in half with a serrated knife and be very careful not to break it. For me it is more comfortable separately.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC
Start by unrolling a sheet of puff pastry on top of the base on which you are going to work, keeping the paper with which it is rolled. To shape the roscón and cut the outside part, you have to put an oval or circular mold on top of the puff pastry. It can be a plate, a tray …

Cut out the outline with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. To make the hole in the center and get the oval shape, the first thing you have to do is measure with your fingers (as you can see in the photo) and you make marks with the tip of a knife, so you keep the same space for all the sides.

Cut out the hole with the cutter over the marks you made earlier. Do not throw away the excess dough because you can use it for other dishes. If you are doing it separately you have to repeat these steps with the other sheet.

Paint the plate that you are going to put on top with beaten egg and decorate it with the candied fruit.

Put a few tablespoons of sugar and a little water in a bowl, without overdoing it, so that it has an earthy texture. Put it on all the roscón to pegotitos.

Place each sheet on different trays and put them in the oven (with heat up and down) placing the decoration on top and leaving a little space between each one.
Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

When they are done, you take them out of the oven and let them warm a little. You can fill it with whipped cream, pastry cream, hazelnut cream … and don’t forget to place the figurine. It only remains to put the top of the roscón carefully.
