1 qt. milk
1/4 lb. butter
1 c. lard
1/2 c. sugar
3 tsp. salt
1 tsp. nutmeg
10-11 c. flour
3 egg yolks plus 1 whole egg
1 1/2 cake or 3 oz. yeast
1 c. warm water
Candied fruit (as much as you like)

Scald milk. Add butter, lard, sugar, salt and nutmeg. When lukewarm, add eggs. Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water. Put about half of flour into a large bowl. Add the milk mixture and eggs. Add the yeast mixture dissolved in the water. Mix well and add enough of the rest of the flour to make a stiff dough. Let rise about 3 hours. Punch down and let rise again. Add the candied fruit into the dough when you punch the dough the last time. Divide dough into loaves of bread. Let rise in greased bread pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes.
