Ingredients:

  • 2 packages (1/4 oz each) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110o to 115o)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup each chopped candied citron, orange peel and red cherries
  • 1/4 cup raisins

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the eggs, milk, sugar, butter, salt, lemon peel, cardamom and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Beat in the almonds, citron, orange peel, cherries and raisins. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch dough down. Shape into two loaves. Place in two greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).
