INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven 375°
  • In a large mixing bowl combine 2 cups flour, the yeast, and cardamom. In a saucepan heat and stir milk, the 1/2 cup margarine or butter, the sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt till warm (120° to 130°) and margarine almost melts. Add to flour mixture along with egg. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can. Stir in raisins or currants, candied fruits and peels, almonds, and orange and lemon peels.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes total). Shape into a ball. Place in a greased bowl; turn once. Cover; let rise in a warm place till double (about 1-3/4 hours).
  • Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into thirds. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Roll one portion of the dough into a 10 X 6-inch oval. Without stretching, fold one of the long sides over to within 1 inch of the opposite side; press edges lightly to seal. Place on a greased baking sheet; repeat with remaining dough. Cover; let rise till nearly double (about 1 hour). Bake in a 375° oven for 18 to 20 minutes or till golden. Remove from baking sheet; cool 30 minutes. Combine powdered sugar, hot water, and the 1/2 teaspoon margarine or butter; brush over warm bread.
