Grate the orange peel so let’s put it aside. Heat the milk so that it becomes lukewarm and, in the meantime, soften the butter. Melt the yeast in the milk then add it, little at a time, to the flour. Incorporate a little at a time also the other ingredients, including the orange peel, and knead until we get a smooth and homogeneous mixture. As soon as our dough is ready, let’s put it aside and let it rise for at least 2 H.
As the dough rises, dedicate to the preparation of the filling.
Let’s put the grapes in the rum bath and let it get rehydrated. Toast the breadcrumbs with butter in a pan with a sweet flame. As soon as the breadcrumbs result in a beautiful amber colour, we turn off the flame. We chop the hazelnuts coarsely and cut the apples into cubes. We combine all the ingredients that make up the filling in a boule and amalgamiamo it until it becomes homogeneous.
Let’s put the stuff aside and get back to work on the dough.
With the help of a rolling pin we spread the dough trying to do it as thin as possible and give to the same, a rectangular shape. We transfer our rectangle of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper then, just made, rifiliamone the edges with the help of a knife so as to have a regular shape. Engrave, with fish bone, the sides longer for half of their length so as to obtain strips and leave the center intact.
Pour the stuffing in the center of the dough then close the whole by composing of the X with the edges of dough. We supply, in hot oven, for 30 ‘ to 180 °.
As soon as our braid has taken on a nice golden color, bake it and let it cool down.

As soon as the Danish braid is cold, brush the surface with bitter orange marmalade, then decorate with dried fruit with petals or flakes. We serve our dessert on a cut accompanied by an excellent cup of tea.
