Greek Christmas Bread Abm

Directions

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water.

Combine the sugar, cardamom, salt, egg, milk and oil in a large bowl.

Mix well.

Add the yeast mixture, flours, raisins and nuts.

Mix well.

Add enough extra flour to make soft dough.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.

Shape into a round loaf.

Put the dough into a lightly-oiled 8-inch-round cake pan.

Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Bake in a 350-degree oven 35 to 40 minutes, or until brown.
