- •2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
- •0.5 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- •2 cups cold milk
- •1 cup white sugar
- •1 cup butter, melted
- •2 teaspoons salt
- •8.5 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- •1 cup golden raisins
- •0.5 cup candied cherries, sliced
- •0.5 cup chopped candied citron
- •1 tablespoon ground cardamom
- •1 large egg white, beaten
Instructions
- 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.
