-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water -- (110F/45C)
2 packages active dry yeast -- (.25 oz)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter -- melted
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon lemon zest
6 cups all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1/2 cup candied mixed fruit
1 cup raisins
3/4 cup pine nuts
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract -- (optional)
1 cup cherries
Slivered almonds can be substituted for pine nuts.
Dissolve 1 teaspoon sugar in 1 cup warm water in large mixer bowl.
Sprinkle in yeast. Let stand 10 minutes, then stir well.
Add 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter or margarine, salt, lemon rind, and
2 cups flour. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed with electric mixer.
Add 2 cups more flour and eggs; beat 3 minutes. Stir in almost all
remaining flour, using enough flour to make a soft dough.
Knead dough on floured board until smooth and elastic, about 8
minutes. Place in lightly greased bowl. Cover with greased waxed
paper and a tea towel. Let rise in warm place 75 - 85F (25 - 30C)
until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
Punch down dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board, and knead in
raisins, candied fruit, and nuts. Shape into two round loaves. Place
each in a well greased, 9", round cake pan. Cover with tea towel. Let
rise in warm place until doubled, 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
Bake at 350F ( 175C) for 45 to 55 minutes. Remove from pans
immediately. Cool on wire racks.
Mix together confectioner's sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons water, and 1/2
teaspoon vanilla. Spoon onto loaves. Decorate with cherries or
almonds. Alternatively, dust loaves with confectioner's sugar.
