Directions:Scald milk; stir in sugar, salt, and shortening; cool to lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in water (use lukewarm water for compressed yeast). Add milk mixture and eggs. Stir in half of flour; beat until smooth. Add fruit and nuts. Stir in enough more flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured board until smooth and satiny, 8 - 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl; brush with soft shortening. Cover with a cloth. Let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 1/4 hours. Punch down; turn sides into center. Divide in half; pat each half into 10 x 14 inch oval. Spread with butter. Fold in half lengthwise. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with butter. Let rise about 1 1/4 hours or until doubled. Bake in 350 degree F oven for 30 - 35 minutes. Makes two. |
