Directions:
- Pour boiling water over raisins to cover.
- Let stand for 10 minutes; drain well.
- Meanwhile, in large mixing bowl, beat sugar, shortening, salt and cinnamon with electric mixer.
- Beat in the 2 eggs and egg yolk.
- Add 2 1/4 cups of the bread flour, the 1 1/4 cups warm water and the yeast.
- Beat with electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl.
- Beat on high speed for 3 minutes.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in the candied fruit, drained raisins and as much of the remaining bread flour as you can.
- Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes).
- Shape into a ball.
- Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease all surfaces.
- Cover and let rise until doubled (about 1 1/2 hours).
- Grease two 13x9-inch baking pans.
- Punch dough down and divide into 4 portions.
- Divide each portion into 10 pieces.
- Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
- Arrange balls in pans, leaving a finger width between each.
- Cover and let rise again until almost doubled (about 1 hour).
- Meanwhile, for the cross batter, in a small bowl stir together butter and powdered sugar.
- Add the egg, the 1/4 cup water, vanilla and almond extract.
- Add 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour.
- Beat until smooth.
- Stir in the remaining all-purpose flour.
- If necessary add a bit more water so you have the right consistency batter for piping.
- Spoon batter into pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch round tip.
- Pipe a cross on each dough ball.
- Bake in 375°F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
