Steps
- 1
Place all the dough ingredients in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
- 2
Mix, scraping down the sides with a spatula as needed, until you have a smooth, shiny, and elastic dough. It will take some time, so be patient.
- 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 6 to 7 hours.
- 4
After rising, divide the dough into two pieces.
- 5
Roll out each piece first with a rolling pin, then stretch it gently by hand from underneath until it becomes almost see-through.
- 6
Spread plenty of room-temperature lard over the dough and sprinkle with lemon zest and anise seeds.
- 7
Roll up the dough into a cylinder, as you would for any ensaimada.
- 8
Let the rolled dough rest for another 2 to 3 hours in the turned-off oven.
- 9
After resting, stretch the dough as much as possible and shape it into the classic spiral, leaving space between the coils.
- 10
Let the shaped dough rest overnight.
- 11
The next day, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- 12
Pipe or spoon the pastry cream between the folds of the spiral.
- 13
Bake until golden brown.
- 14
Let cool completely before generously dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
