Description
Homemade Easter dove is a true delight, a symbol of Easter that smells of tradition and celebration. Preparing it requires a little patience, especially for the rising times, but the result is priceless: a soft, fragrant dove with a unique flavor. I prepare it every year, following the family recipe, and I must say it is always a success! The aroma of orange and vanilla makes it irresistible, perfect to enjoy for breakfast or as a dessert after Easter lunch. A tip? Prepare the aromatic paste in advance, so the flavors will blend perfectly.

Preparation (12 steps)
First dough
Place the refreshed sourdough starter (at least 3 times), flour, sugar, water and egg yolks in the bowl. Knead for 3 Min./Knetstufe.
Adding the butter
Add the soft butter in pieces, a little at a time, and knead for 2 Min./Knetstufe.
First rising
Transfer the dough to a bowl covered with film and let it rise for 480 Min. (8 hours) at room temperature.
Preparation of the aromatic paste
In a bowl, mix the honey, grated orange zest and vanilla bean. Store in the refrigerator for 30 Min.
Second dough
Place the leavened dough, flour, sugar and egg yolks in the bowl. Knead for 3 Min./Knetstufe.
Adding the aromatic paste and butter
Add the aromatic paste and the soft butter in pieces, a little at a time. Knead for 2 Min./Knetstufe.
Adding the candied fruit
Add the candied oranges and knead for 1 Min./Stufe 2.
Forming the dove
Divide the dough into two equal parts and form two small loaves. Place them in the 750 gram dove mold. Cover with film and let rise for 120 Min. until it reaches one centimeter from the edge.
Preparation of the glaze
Place the egg whites, almond flour and powdered sugar in the bowl. Mix for 20 Sec./Stufe 3.
Glazing and decorating
Spread the glaze on the risen dove with the help of a pastry bag. Decorate with powdered sugar and almonds.
Baking in the oven
Bake the dove in a preheated oven at 180°C for 55 Min.
Cooling
Remove the dove from the oven and pierce it with skewers. Turn the Easter dove upside down so that it cools without releasing too much humidity.
