4 c Flour

3/4 c Sugar

1 pk Dry yeast

1 ts Salt

1/4 ts Cardamom

1 ts Cinnamon

1/4 ts Grated nutmeg

2/3 c Milk

1/2 c Unsalted butter

1/4 c Water

2 Eggs

1 c Chopped mixed candied fruit

1/2 c Raisins

1/2 c Choped walnuts

Combine 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, yeast, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg in a

mixing bowl. Place the milk, butter, and water in a saucepan and heat over low heat until

warm (120-130 degrees) stirring until the butter melts. Gradually add the warm milk

mixture to the flour. Beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, and 1 cup flour and

beat 2 minutes longer. Add the candied fruit, raisins, and walnuts. Stir in as much of the

remaining flour as possible. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead in

remaining flour. Knead for 10 minutes, until dough is smooth and elastic. Place dough in

greased bowl, cover, and let rise about 1 1/2 hours or until double in bulk. Punch dough

down and divide in half. Knead each piece for 1-2 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.

Roll each out to an 11 x 7-inch oval. Fold over in half. Place on greased cookie sheets,

cover, and let rise about 45 minutes. Bake in a preheated 375 oven 25-30 minutes. From:
