Part 3/8:

The Coca de Sant Joan is an evolution of a sweet flatbread, topped with a variety of ingredients. Influenced by old recipes dating back to the 1920s, the modern version boasts flavours from pine nuts, candied fruit, and even pastry cream. Traditionally associated with the summer festivities, this sweet bread plays a significant role in the celebration of Sant Joan after a night rich with folklore, fire, and friendship.

To create this sweet bread, one would need ingredients such as:

• 2.5 cups of bread flour

• 14 grams of dry yeast

• 100 grams of sugar

• 55 grams of lard or butter

• 3 eggs (2 for the dough and 1 for the egg wash)

• 120 milliliters of whole milk

• Zest from half a lemon

• 60 milliliters of Anisette (anise-flavored liqueur)
