Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, 1 teaspoon of the sugar, and the active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
โฑ๏ธ 10 minutes - 2
Make the dough: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour and the remaining sugar. Make a well in the center. Pour in the activated yeast mixture, the eggs, and the Port wine. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
โฑ๏ธ 10 minutes - 3
Knead the dough: Gradually add the softened butter, a tablespoon at a time, while the mixer is running on low speed. Continue to knead for about 10-15 minutes until the dough is smooth, elastic, and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If kneading by hand, it will take longer, about 15-20 minutes. The dough should feel soft and slightly sticky.
โฑ๏ธ 15 minutes - 4
First rise: Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
โฑ๏ธ 1.5 - 2 hours - 5
Incorporate fruits and nuts: Gently punch down the risen dough. Scatter the chopped candied fruits and nuts over the dough. Knead gently for a few minutes until they are evenly distributed. Be careful not to overwork the dough at this stage.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 6
Shape the cake: Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Shape the dough into a ring or a crown shape on the prepared baking sheet. You can make a hole in the center and gently stretch it, or form a circular log and join the ends. If using, you can insert a dried fava bean into the dough at this stage (traditionally, whoever finds it has to buy the Bolo Rei next year).
โฑ๏ธ 10 minutes - 7
Second rise: Cover the shaped cake loosely with plastic wrap or a damp cloth. Let it rise again in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has visibly puffed up.
โฑ๏ธ 1 hour - 8
Preheat oven and egg wash: Preheat your oven to 180ยฐC (350ยฐF). In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk with a teaspoon of water. Brush the top of the risen cake evenly with the egg wash. Sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 9
Bake the Bolo Rei: Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
โฑ๏ธ 35-45 minutes - 10
Cool and serve: Let the Bolo Rei cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. It's delicious on its own or with a cup of coffee or tea.
