1 recipe Sweet Dough
1 tsp. ground cardamom
1 c. chopped, mixed candied fruit
1/2 c. dark raisins
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten
1 tbsp. water

Prepare Sweet Dough, substituting cardamom for lemon peel, and stirring candied fruit and raisins into dough before kneading. Let rise as directed. Divide in half.

Shape each half into a round loaf. Place, 4 inches apart, on greased large baking sheet. Cover; let rise until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Mix egg yolk with water; brush over loaves.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheets; cool on racks. Frost with Vanilla Icing. Makes 2 loaves.

VANILLA ICING:

Stir together 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 8 teaspoons milk until smooth.
