  • Mix the dry yeast and warm milk in a bowl, then let it rest for 10 minutes. You will notice a slight bubbling layer forming on the surface, which means the yeast is activating. Set aside.
  • Place the flour along with the activated yeast, Jumex® Único Fresco® grape blueberry juice, sugar, salt, orange zest, and eggs in a stand mixer bowl. Using the dough hook attachment, beat at medium speed until incorporated. When the ingredients are mixed, add the butter and beat until you obtain a homogeneous and elastic mixture. Place the dough in a bowl previously brushed with oil, cover with non-stick plastic wrap, and let it rest for 2 hours or until it doubles in size.
  • While the dough ferments, prepare the sugar crust. Mix in a bowl the butter along with the powdered sugar, egg yolk, and flour until completely integrated. You should obtain a dough with a play-dough texture, refrigerate until use.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 °C
  • Once the dough has doubled in volume, place it on a floured surface, punch down the dough with your fist and roll it out into a rectangle, it doesn't need to be too wide. It will be time to hide the classic figurines in the King Cake!, wrap the figurines with the dough and form a roll, join the ends and place it on a baking sheet, giving it enough space to rise. Let it rest for another 20 minutes, so the cake can grow again.
  • Brush the King Cake with the egg and decorate with rings of sugar crust dough, mainly covering the joint area, then press until they adhere perfectly, sprinkle the crust rings with sugar and place a fresh blueberry on top of each ring. In the free spaces add dried blueberries. Bake at 180 °C for 25 minutes or until the cake is golden. Once cool, enjoy with a hot beverage.
