Ingredients :

·         16-oz. package hot-roll mix

·         2 tbsp. sugar

·         1 c. hot water (120°F to 130°F, or very hot to touch)

·         1 egg, at room temperature

·         2 tbsp. butter or margarine, softened

·         1/2 tsp. ground cardamom (optional)

·         1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

·         1/2 c. golden raisins

·         1/2 c. currants

·         1/2 c. cut-up candied cherries flour for kneading

·         1 c. sifted powdered sugar 2 tbsp. whole milk or half-and-half

How To Make :

·         In large bowl, combine the hot-roll mix with sugar. Mix well.

·         Stir in hot water, egg, butter, cardamom, and nutmeg. Stir until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. Add raisins, currants, and cherries. Mix well.

·         Lightly sprinkle a work surface with flour. Turn dough out onto flour and knead for 5 minutes. Cover dough with a large bowl and let rest for 5 minutes.

·         Using a lightly-floured rolling pin, roll dough into an oval, 10 to 12 inches long and about 1 inch thick. Fold in half, cover, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.

·         Heat oven to 375°F. Bake bread 22 to 25 minutes. If bread begins to brown too quickly, lay a piece of foil loosely over top. Bread is done when it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

·         Cool bread on a wire rack. Make icing by stirring together the powdered sugar and milk. Drizzle over cooled bread. Slice to serve.
