Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water and let stand for about 5 minutes to soften.
- Stir in milk, butter, egg, salt, sugar, and cardamom until blended.
- With spoon, stir in 7 cups of the flour or enough to form a stiff dough Knead about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Place dough in greased bowl, grease top, cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled (1-1/2 to 2 hours).
- Punch dough down and knead briefly on floured board to release air.
- Divide into 6 equal portions; pull each into a rope about 24 inches long Place 3 ropes on a greased baking sheet, pinch tops together, and braid loosely.
- Form braid into a ring, pinching ends together.
- Repeat to make a second braided wreath.
- Cover and let rise until almost doubled (about 40 minutes).
- Bake in a 350 oven until loaves are medium brown (35 to 40 minutes) Transfer loaves to a rack and let cool for 10 minutes, then serve warm.
- Or, if made ahead, let cool completely, then wrap airtight and freeze; thaw unwrapped.
- To reheat, wrap in foil and heat in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes.
- To serve, spoon half the Lemon Icing around top of each wreath, letting it drizzle down sides.
- Decorate with cherries, if desired.
