Croissant Rosca de Reyes

Rosca de Reyes! It's a modern twist on the traditional Spanish Three Kings Cake. Using croissant dough sheets, this recipe is simple yet delicious, perfect for celebrating special occasions or enjoying a sweet treat anytime.

Ingredients

🥐 2 tubes of croissant dough sheet
🍬 1 cup of powdered sugar
💧 2-3 tablespoons water
🍒 Candied fruit (maraschino cherries or fruit from a can work well)
🧴 Cooking spray

Instructions

1- Preheat & Prepare:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Lightly spray an 8 or 10-inch baking pan with cooking spray. If you prefer, you can use a sheet pan along with a smaller round dish for shaping.

2- Shape the Dough:

• Prepare the dough sheets by cutting each into four long strips.
• Take the smaller round dish or plate and wrap the croissant dough strips around it. This helps form the circular shape of the Rosca.
• Carefully flip the circular dough onto the pre-sprayed larger baking pan. Remove the smaller dish or plate.

3- Decorate & Bake:

• Arrange the candied fruit on top of the dough, pressing lightly to stick.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 24 minutes. Keep a close eye on the bottom to avoid burning.

4- Prepare the Glaze:

• While the Rosca is baking, prepare the glaze. Mix the powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of water until smooth.

5- Finish & Serve:

• Once the Rosca is done and still warm, drizzle the glaze generously over the top.
• Allow it to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Croissant Rosca de Reyes!
