From Wikipedia:
1) Preheat 350 degrees farenheit 2) Mix flour and add pinch of salt in one of the bowls 3) In the 2nd bowl, mix the yeast, water with milk and add to flour mixture 4) Blend well to make a thick smooth batter that is a bit sticky 5) Grease baking sheet and line with parchment paper, this is optional for some 6) once the dough has risen and doubled, knead the dough again and roll into a sausage shape 7) Place the roll on greased sheet on baking sheet and connect the ends to form a ring 8) Sprinkle dried fruits and chocolate chips, sprinkles and / or dried cherries and toppings and bake until golden brown 35 mins or so 9) cool on window and hide 2 coins in baked dough 10) When cool it is customary to slice open in half the ring and place whipped cream and place the top back on ... Put in refrigerator to set should you select this option. |

dave - i see no reason why it couldn't be done in such a pan ~ you may have to cut the recipe in half, but no worries there.
it might be a bit of a departure from "ancient" tradition, but i would be willing to bet my paellera that someone, somewhere has used a bundt pan for this ~

This traditional pastry is quite a Roman Catholic ritual here on the Iberian Peninsula. You are the 2nd American I know ( Community of Bloggers to discuss gastronomy and related subjects ) that has knowledge of this ...
The photos are lovely. Of course, new generations of chefs here in Spain, have added a new touch:
1) whipped cream in the centre of the two layers
2) chocolate chips and chocolate cake
3) strawberries and cream filled centre
I had posted some fotos on another website where we had first come into contact in their recipe section. Since I cannot for the life of me, post a foto on this community website directly, you can have this foto for your´s, if you wish. I have a copy of it.
DESSERTS in Spain are usually named after saints, or a quintessential ingredient ... The oldest and most famous is SANTIAGO TART, TARTA SANTIAGO ... which is celebrated every 25th July, the Santiago Walk ( St. James ) ...
If you ever can, see the MARTIN SHEEN FILM 2011: called THE SANTIAGO WAY ... it shall provide a whole wonderful absorbing and profoundly historical view of the THE PILGRIM´s WALK ... I had done it in 1996 and it is quite an experience.

Yes, it is quite a profound film and Martin Sheen directed in it and portrayed the leading role. I believe you shall really connect to the film ...
