Easter pastries made of pudding and orange juice

1. To begin with, brew flour with milk. Proportions:
- 100 ml of milk
- 1 tablespoon with a slide (16 gr) of flour
- 5 grams of salt
- 3 tablespoons of sugar (40g)
- 1 bag of vanillin.
We send all the ingredients to a small saucepan. Brew over moderate heat, stirring intensively with a whisk, until a thick pudding.
2. Turn off the fire and let it cool down to room temperature.
3. Pour the yeast into the flour and mix.
4. In a bowl with flour, we send 3 eggs, 20 ml of orange juice, the zest of one orange, grated on a fine grater, the cooled pudding – mix.
5. Add pieces of chopped butter, and knead the dough so that it turns out homogeneous and elastic. (it may take about 30-60 minutes). If you have a dough mixer, then you can handle these in 10 minutes. During kneading, the dough can stick strongly to the hands and work surface, gradually add flour. As soon as it stops sticking, just knead.
6. As the dough becomes elastic and homogeneous, add raisins so that it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. We transfer the finished dough to a clean deep bowl - it is better if it is with a lid, if not, then close it with a film and send it to the refrigerator to rest and reach from 12 to 24 hours. Therefore, it is convenient to knead the dough in the evening, and bake it in the afternoon of another day. During this time, the dough will fit well in the refrigerators.
8. After 12-24 hours, we take the dough out of the refrigerator, cut it into equal parts. Approximately the dough turns out to be about 1 kg, cut into 100 grams.
9. Each piece is formed into a ball, cool dough from the heat of the hands, very easy to form. (for more details, see this stage in the video)
10. In order to make a "nest", you need to take 2 balls. Roll out into long sausages. Twist into a tourniquet, form a ring, pinching the tips together. Put the finished "nest" on a baking sheet and let it come up for 30-60 minutes.. So that the dough does not dry out and fits well, it is necessary to lubricate with a thin layer of water at this time.
11. As a "nest" to increase in two, grease with beaten egg for shine (you can sprinkle chopped almonds on top) and send it to bake in the oven. The oven must be preheated to a temperature of 220 degrees, as soon as you put the buns in the oven, you need to adjust the temperature to 180 degrees and bake for 15-30 minutes.
