Sweet festive with candied fruits

Description

Delicious baked goods for the whole family. Enriched dough is one of the best choices for baking pies. Soft, airy, and incredibly tender braid with candied fruits will be a perfect addition to decorate a festive table. You can optionally add chopped nuts, dried fruits, or poppy seeds—this will make it even more delicious. You may also shape the pie into a roll or individual buns—the taste and quality of the baked goods won't change. However, I highly recommend making the pie in the shape of a braid, as it turns out incredibly beautiful when sliced. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
