The recipe, step by step

  1. 01

    Polish detrempe

    Mix the flour, the yeast and the milk at 20 °C and knead by hand and place in a measuring cup.

    Let it rise at room temperature (22℃) until the volume has tripled.

  2. 02

    Aroma paste

    Make syrup by boiling glucose syrup, water, sugar, honey, and salt.

    Add the orange and vanilla paste and orange blossom to the Thermomix and blend until you have a smooth paste.

  3. 03

    Main dough

    Add the polish, whole eggs, T45 flour, sugar, salt and yeast and mix on level 1 until the dough comes together (use a beater if the amount is small).

    Raise it to the level 2 to form gluten. Once the gluten is incorporated, add the butter, mashed potatoes, and the aromatic paste and mix until smooth.

    At a dough temperature of 26℃, let it rise for about 45 minutes at room temperature, then fold and flatten it.

    Then, store in the freezer to stop the fermentation.

    After refrigerating overnight, divide into 50 g portions and shape into firm balls.

  4. 04

    Cherry confit

    Heat the cherry puree and Amanera syrup and add the pre-mixed pectin and sugar when it reaches 40℃.

    When it reaches 70℃, mix corn starch and water and boil for 30 seconds.

    Remove from heat, add citric acid solution and mix in chopped Amanera cherries.

  5. 05

    Almond Mascarpone Chantilly

    Bake the almond slices at 180℃ for 6 minutes (until they turn golden brown and emit a nutty aroma).

    Add whipping cream heated to 60℃, cover with plastic wrap and infuse for 10 minutes.

    Strain the almond slices through a fine sieve and adjust the amount of whipping cream.

    Mix the flour and mascarpone.

    Cool to 3℃ and use after whipping while cold.

  6. 06

    Citrus syrup

    Put all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil.

    Let steep in the refrigerator overnight.

  7. 07

    Assembly and finishing touches

    Leave the rounded Maritozzo dough balls to proof at 26℃ and 80% humidity for two hours.

    Bake in a convection oven at 180°C for 8-9 minutes (until light brown).

    Brush with citrus syrup as soon as it comes out of the oven. Cut after cooling.

    Fill with 20 g of cherry confit and 60 g of Almond Mascarpone Chantilly, sprinkle with powdered sugar and decorate with half an Amarena cherry.
