Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 packages yeast, active dry
¾ teaspoon cardamom seeds
ground
1 ¼ cups milk
½ cup sugar
½ cup butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 each eggs
1 cup candied fruit
optional
*
1 cup golden raisins
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a large mixer bowl combine 2½ cups all-purpose flour, yeast, and cardamom.

In a saucepan heat milk, sugar, butter, and salt just until warm (115F) and the butter is almost melted; stir constantly.

Add heated milk mixture to flour mixture; add 1 egg.

Beat at low speed with an electric mixer for ½ a minute.

Beat 3 minutes at high speed, scraping sides of bowl constantly.

Stir in candied fruits and peels (optional), raisins, and as much of the 2½ cups all-purpose flour as you can mix in with a spoon.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead in enough of the remaining all-purpose flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total).

Shape dough into a ball.

Place in a lightly greased bowl; turn once to grease surface.

Cover, let rise in a warm place until double (about 2½ hours).

Punch dough down; divide dough in half.

Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Shape into 2 round loaves; place on greased baking sheets.

Flatten each slightly to a 6-inch diameter.

Cover; let rise until nearly double (45 to 60 minutes).

Stir together 1 slightly beaten egg yolk and 2 tablespoons water, brush over loaves.

Bake in a 350℉ (180℃) oven for 35 minutes or until done.

Cool on a wire rack.

Makes 2 round loaves.
