Ingredients
* 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
* 1 cup warm water (110 degrees to 115 degrees)
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1 egg
* 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
* 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup raisins
* 1/2 cup diced citron or mixed candied fruit
Directions
1. In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, egg, butter, salt, cardamom and 2 cups flour; mix well. Stir in raisins, citron and enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to greased top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down; divide in half. Shape each portion into a flattened ball. Place in two greased 9-in. round baking pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to cool on wire racks.
Note: you can use any sort or combination of chopped dried fruit from the wonderful craisins, to dried apricots, dried cherries, currants, dates, whatever tickles your fancy at the moment. There is no right and wrong in these substitutions. Also, if you're not a cardamon fan, feel free to substitute another flavoring, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, whatever. This is a very forgiving recipe.
