      Preparation

      Plan to have all ingredients at room temperature. Ideally knead with a food processor, it is faster and more efficient.
      1. Mix the flour, sugar and salt in a processor with hook or bowl.
      2. In a small saucepan, warm the milk and water with the butter (cut into small cubes). The temperature of this mix should not exceed 45°C. Once the butter has melted, pour in the baking powder and leave to rest for 5 minutes. This will activate the baking powder.
      3. Pour the liquid over the dry ingredients while kneading. When the mixture becomes too dry, gradually add the beaten eggs. Knead with the food processor for 15 minutes, or until the dough detaches itself from the bottom of the bowl. If it detaches itself quickly, add one or two spoonfuls of water. You should be able to knead for a fairly long time. If you are doing it by hand, transfer the dough to the unfloured work surface and knead. The dough is ready when it no longer sticks to your fingers and forms a smooth ball.
      4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and leave to rise until it has doubled in size, usually for 2 to 3 hours.
      5. Meanwhile, prepare the garnish. Chop the dried fruits and set aside in a bowl. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Soften the butter.
      6. Separate the dough into two equal parts. Roll out the first piece into a rectangle 40 cm wide by 20 cm. Brush with a good layer of butter and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar and the dried fruit mixture. Gently roll up into a 40 cm long roll, cut off the uneven ends. Cut the roll into 6 pieces of the same size.
      7. Repeat the process again with the remaining dough.
      8. Arrange the 12 rolls upright in a 35x23cm Pyrex® glass dish and brush with milk.
      9. Place a tea towel on top and let them rise as before until they have doubled in volume.
      10. Preheat the oven to 200°C and place a rack on the second level from the bottom. Place in the oven and lower to 180°C and bake for 20 minutes.
      11. Meanwhile, prepare the icing by mixing all the ingredients together. You can also add the lemon zest.
      12. Remove from the oven. Cover with the icing. Eat warm.
