For the test. Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt, sugar and vanilla sugar.

Add the melted butter and warmed milk. These ingredients should be warm but not hot.

Mix well the flour with the yeast.

In the liquid part of the dough add half of flour, stir with a whisk until smooth, add the zest from one lemon and one orange and alcohol, if you allow its use. I added a spoonful of homemade orange liqueur. Also suitable for brandy, rum or another aromatic alcohol.

Gradually add the remaining flour. Flour may need more or less, so it is necessary to pour portions, adjusting the dough consistency. It should be pretty soft, so flour it is better to sleep. Knead the dough 5-10 minutes, podpilivaya surface with flour, until it starts to come unstuck from hands.

The dough is ready keep it in a warm place to rise for 1-1. 5 hours. Test a lot, and it fits well, so take the dishes more. I don't have one, so I divided the dough into 2 parts. Half after the approach has filled a pan 4.5 litre.

While the dough rises, prepare the filling. Prunes and dates finely chop, add the raisins and vanilla sugar. Squeeze in the filling juice from the orange, zest which went into the dough, plus the zest and juice of one orange. Try, and if prunes or an orange was sour, add a couple tablespoons of sugar. Further, according to the desire and taste of the added alcohol (the same one that we used in the test). Leave the dried fruits to soak for 1-1. 5 hours until suitable dough. Mac rubs and fill with boiling water. A lot of water - so the filling easier to spread on the test and in the future it will give more "vibrance" of our baking. Add diluted with water Mak in the present dried fruits, and in the end add chopped nuts. If the filling seems too thick - pour some more boiling water.

The dough and divide the filling into 8 parts. Each piece of dough roll out into a thin rectangular layer, about 40 cm long. Distribute on top of the layer portion of the filling. Do not regret - the more toppings, the better.

Turn into the loaf. Silicone Mat in this case indispensable the dough to him absolutely does not stick.

Repeat with all dough and get 8 rolls.

Each roll cut in half lengthwise.

And Zapletal in harness-pigtail, trying to keep the incisions looked up.

Do not repeat my mistakes - grease the baking tray with grease, preferably grease. I just Pribylina flour, and the rest of the filling, the bottom caught, stuck. Sticking the filling point, the bottom of the rolls is not particularly affected, but then to unbolt a bunch of forms and trays have turned out to be more exercise. Move the braid on a greased baking pan and turn the ring. Twist the ends, superposed one upon the other.

Leave to rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes. Up to noticeably grow. Grease them with egg beaten with milk, and bake in a preheated oven at a temperature of 170* C for 30-40 minutes. I baked on two levels, on convection mode, after 10-15 minutes, changing the trays places: zarumyanilsya upper roll sent to the lower level and covered with foil. Simultaneously, the trays were rotated 180 degrees so that the rolls were Romanies evenly.
