Apricot Couronne directions
- Mix together the flour, beaten egg, 1.5 oz butter, milk salt & yeast in a bowl, then transfer to a working surface. Knead for about 10 minutes until a soft smooth dough is formed...it will be sticky at first, but persist!!.
- Cover the bowl with a large plastic bag and leave to prove until doubled in size..depending on the temperature, this takes a bit more than an hour...make sure the milk is just blood heat..
- Beat together the butter and sugar then stir in the zest of the orange and chopped walnuts with the flour then add the drained apricots..
- Turn the risen dough on to the work surface and carefully roll out to a rectangle about 13 x10 inches. Spread the filling over and roll up tightly along the longest edge to make a long sausage. Using scissors, cut along the length of the roll until there's 1cm left...twist the two lengths together to form a rope then form a circle, arranging the two ends neatly...transfer to a large baking sheet..
- Cover with the same plastic bag, and prove for a further 45 minutes, set the oven to 200 degrees c...bake for 25 minutes until golden brown & cooked...make up some glacé icing with the icing sugar & lemon juice... finish the couronne with a glaze made with some sieved jam or marmalade, brushing it lightly over the surface...then zig zag icing over the entire top...then scatter the almonds....enjoy!!.
