-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour -- (16.9 oz)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons brandy
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/3 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup warm 2% reduced-fat milk -- (100F to 110F)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 ounce dry yeast -- (1 pkg)
6 tablespoons butter -- melted
2 large eggs -- lightly beaten
1/2 cup diced candied citron
1/2 cup sliced almonds -- toasted
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons 2% reduced-fat milk -- divided
1 large egg
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level
with a knife. Combine 15.75 ounces (about 3 1/2 cups) flour, salt,
and nutmeg. Combine orange juice and brandy; microwave at HIGH 45
seconds. Add cherries, raisins, and apricots; let stand for 20 minutes.
2. Combine warm milk, granulated sugar, and yeast; let stand for 5
minutes. Stir butter and 2 eggs into yeast mixture. Stir in juice
mixture, 1/2 cup citron, almonds, and rind. Add flour mixture to
yeast mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto
a lightly floured surface. Knead 5 minutes or until dough is smooth
and elastic, adding remaining 1/4 cup flour, 1 tablespoon at a time,
to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel sticky).
3. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to
coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85F) 1 hour or until
doubled in size. Punch dough down. Divide dough into 2 equal
portions; roll each into an 11 x 8" oval. Fold 1 short end toward
center; fold other short end toward center until it overlaps first
end. Place loaves, seam side down, on a baking sheet lined with
parchment paper. Cover and let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Preheat oven to 350F.
5. Combine 1 tablespoon milk and 1 egg. Uncover dough; brush gently
with milk mixture. Bake at 350° for 32 minutes or until golden. Cool
on wire racks. Combine 1 tablespoon milk and powdered sugar, stirring
until smooth; drizzle over loaves.
