Ingredients
-
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
-
½ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
-
2 cups cold milk
-
1 cup white sugar
-
1 cup butter, melted
-
2 teaspoons salt
-
8 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
-
1 cup golden raisins
-
½ cup candied cherries, sliced
-
½ cup chopped candied citron
-
1 tablespoon ground cardamom
-
1 large egg white, beaten
Directions
-
Dissolve yeast in warm water.
-
Pour cold milk into a wide, shallow, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until small bubbles appear around the outside of the saucepan.
-
Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in sugar, melted butter, and salt; let sit until lukewarm, 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Add yeast mixture, then stir in 4 cups flour. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
-
Punch down dough. Stir in raisins, cherries, citron, and cardamom. Work in remaining 4 1/2 cups flour until a soft dough forms. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 2 to 3 hours.
-
Knead dough slightly on a lightly floured surface. Divide into fourths and form into round loaves. Place loaves onto greased cookie sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush loaves with egg white.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
