1

Activate the yeast by mixing 1 tablespoon of flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and fresh yeast with warm milk. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

2

In a bowl, add the flour and create a well in the center. Add the eggs, oil, and the activated yeast mixture.

3

Mix well and then add the sugar. Incorporate the ingredients to form a dough.

4

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, adding a little flour if necessary to prevent sticking.

5

After kneading, create a small hole in the dough and add the salt and orange extract. Knead for another 5 minutes.

6

Flatten the dough slightly and add the candied fruit and raisins. Knead for an additional 2 minutes to distribute the fruit evenly.

7

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

8

Once risen, divide the dough into pieces and shape them into balls, ensuring they are well sealed.

9

Let the shaped dough rest for 10 minutes before placing them on a greased baking tray.

10

After resting, slightly flatten the dough balls and place them on the baking tray, leaving space between each.

11

Cover the tray and let the dough rise again for 30-40 minutes before baking.
