How to make it
Dissolve the yeast with a spoon of sugar in the warm milk and leave it to foam.
Knead a dough from the flour, sponge, eggs, sugar, zest, vanilla, salt and softened butter.
Let it rise somewhere warm for an hour and a quarter, until doubled.
Divide the dough into twelve and roll each into a forty-centimetre rope.
Twist each rope into a figure of eight, joining the ends, and set it on a tray.
Prove them thirty minutes and bake at 180 °C for twenty minutes, until golden.
Brush the hot mucenici with honey and cover them thickly with ground walnuts.
