INGREDIENTS:
* 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
* 2/3 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
* 1 large egg
* 1/3 cup white sugar
* 1/2 tablespoon salt
* 1/3 cup butter, softened
* 2 1/2 cups bread flour
* 1/3 cup currants
* 1/3 cup sultana raisins
* 1/3 cup red candied cherries, quartered
* 2/3 cup diced candied citron
* 6 ounces marzipan
* 1 tablespoon confectioners’ / icing sugar
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamonDIRECTIONS:
Make the dough in yr bread making machine like I do, or follow the following instructions:
– In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
– In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the egg, white sugar, salt, butter, and 2 cups bread flour; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition.
– Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
– Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.Roll the marzipan into a rope and place it in the center of the dough. Fold the dough over to cover it; pinch the seams together to seal. Place the loaf, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 175C or 350F.
– Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 150C or 300F, and bake for a further 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow loaf to cool on a wire rack.
