Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 F. Crumble the yeast cakes into 1/2 cup warm water (about 85 F.). Mix with all other dough ingredients and beat the batter well until smooth and elastic. On a large baking sheet shape the dough into a ring resembling a large wreath. Tuck a miniature plastic doll or charm inside the dough. Cover the ring with a clean cloth or towel and let it sit in a warm place for 2 hours.
After the dough has risen and before putting it in the oven prepare the decorative paste by creaming the butter and sugar together beating in the egg and gradually mixing in the flour. Use paste to decorate the bread in the form of rays coming out from the center then decorate with candied fruit and sliced almonds before baking. Bake 40-50 minutes until the bread is golden brown. After baking sprinkle with powdered sugar.
