Directions:
- Blend the yeast with the warm milk then leave for 15 minutes until frothy.
- Stir in 4 oz of the flour, cover and leave for 30 minutes.
- Melt the butter and leave to cool. Whisk together the eggs, egg yolk and sugar, then whisk in the butter.
- Stir in the salt, vanilla, orange and lemon zests. Add the remaining 11 oz flour and mix together with a wooden spoon.
- Beat in the yeast mixture until the mixture is smooth. Mix in the raisins, reserving 2, and the candied peel. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a clean tea-towel and leave for 1 and 3/4 to two hours until doubled in size.
- Draw the outline of a dove shape onto 2 sheets of parchment paper. Line 2 baking trays with the parchment sheets.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes. Divide in half and shape each piece into a dove and place each dove on a separate baking tray. Use the reserved raisins for the eyes.
- Cover with a clean tea-towel and leave to rise again at room temperature for about one hour until double the size. Stud the doves with the almonds.
- Pre-heat the oven to 375deg F
- Bake the Easter doves in the oven for about 15-18 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool. Dust with sifted icing sugar before serving. Makes 2, each to serve 6.
