Servings: persons

1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup orange liqueur
2 tsp active dry yeast
3/4 cup plus 2 tsp granulated sugar
½ tbsp (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened, plus additional, for greasing
2 tsp vanilla extract
6 None eggs
5 1/2 cups flour, plus additional, for kneading
1/2 cup warm milk
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
None None Powdered sugar, to dust

1
Place golden raisins and liqueur in a small bowl. Cover and set aside until needed.
2
Combine 1/3 cup warm water, yeast and 2 tsp sugar in a small bowl. Stir gently. Cover and let stand in a warm place about 10 mins, until frothy.
3
Beat butter, 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until pale and creamy. Add 3 of the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Separate remaining eggs. Add yolks to creamed mixture, beating well. Stir in yeast mixture until well combined.
4
Fold in flour alternately with milk until combined. Turn dough out onto a clean, heavily floured surface. Knead 10 mins until smooth. Transfer to a large greased bowl. Cover and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 1/2 hours).
5
Punch dough down. Turn onto a floured surface and knead in soaked golden raisins and almonds. Cut in half and roll each into a 16 inch-long strip. Moisten one end of each strip and pinch together, then twist strips together. Join ends to form a wreath shape. Place in a 12-inch well-greased ring pan. Cover and let stand in a warm place a further 45 mins.
6
Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. Reduce oven temperature to 350u00b0F. Brush wreath with beaten egg white.
7
Bake 35-40 mins, until golden. Cover with foil in final 10 mins if brioche browns too quickly. Cool in pan 5 mins. Remove from pan; cool completely on wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
