🌿In warm milk, dissolve the yeast with 1 tbsp of the sugar and 1 tbsp of flour. Let sit for 30 mins.
🌿In a bowl, mix together the remaining sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, honey and eggs until combined. Add the yeast mixture and knead into a dough, adding the butter and kneading until incorporated. Let rise for 1.5-2 hours.
🌿Soak the orange zest in boiling water, then add it and the cranberries to the risen dough. Divide into portions and place in greased baking pans, filling halfway.
🌿Make the almond meringue topping by mixing all ingredients together and transferring to a piping bag.
🌿Once the dough has risen just below the rim of the pans, pipe the meringue on top and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
🌿Bake in a preheated 170°C oven for around 30 minutes.
