10:46:28 -0500 (EST) ROSCA DE REYES (King's  Round Loaf -- Exclusively
for January 6): This is from "Good Food  From Mexico" by Ruth Mulvey &
Luisa Maria Alvarez, copyright 1950. I  take no credit, I just happened
to have the cookbook handy and I  remembered it had a big section on
Fiesta and Special-Occasion Dishes.  Place one-third of the flour in a
mound on a board and make a  depression in the center.  Dissolve yeast
in lukewarm water and pour  into center of mound, mixing it a little at
a time with the flour.  Knead, then form into a ball. Make two
incisions forming a cross on  the top of the ball and place in a
floured bowl. Cover with napkin  and let stand in a warm place until it
is twice its original size.  Mix butter, sugar and salt with milk and
cook over moderate heat for  about two minutes.  Pour half of the
mixture into a depression made  in a mound of the other two-thirds of
the flour.  Add two eggs and  the orange blossom water. Mix thoroughly
with the flour and when  lukewarm, add the dough which has fermented.
Knead well, adding the  rest of the milk mixture and two more eggs.
When the dough is smooth,  add citron, orange peel and lemon rind.
Place in a greased pan, cover  with napkin and allow it to stand
twenty-four hours.  Shape dough into a large circle with a hole in the
center, place on a  greased baking pan and allow to stand until it has
swelled almost to  twice its original size. Moisten the tope with a
brush dipped in  remaining egg, sprinkle with sugar and dot with small
pieces of  additional citron. Bake at 400F for thirty minutes or
longer. Yield:  one very large ring or twelve to fifteen servings.
