Dough Preparation
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 230 g of flour, salt, granulated sugar, dry yeast, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, ginger, 1/3 teaspoon of cloves, and grated lemon zest.
In a small saucepan, combine milk, water, and 80 g of butter. Heat the mixture to approximately 50 degrees Celsius, until the butter is completely melted. Caution: the liquid should be warm, not hot.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until homogeneous. Add the 2 whole eggs and the egg yolk, then gradually start incorporating the remaining flour. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it becomes elastic. Finally, quickly incorporate the ground almonds. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Chef's tip
For extra shine and flavor, brush the braids with the butter and rum mixture immediately after taking them out of the oven, while they are still hot. If you want an alcohol-free version, you can replace the rum with a little orange juice.
