Moravian Christmas Loaf
Moravian Christmas Loaf is an impressive dinner. Made with 2 pkg. active dry yeast, 1/2 c. warm water, 3 c. sifted flour, 2 tsp. salt and 2 c. milk, scalded and cooled, this recipe delivers authentic, satisfying flavors. A crowd-pleaser that never disappoints.
Soften the yeast in warm water.
Add the 3 cups flour and salt gradually to the 2 cups cooled milk; beat until smooth.
Stir in the yeast.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled.
Add 1 cup scalded milk to the butter and sugar; stir until butter is melted.
Cool to lukewarm; stir into the yeast mixture.
Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
Stir in a mixture of the fruits.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and satiny, adding flour as needed.
Place in a greased bowl and grease top of dough.
Cover; let rise until doubled, about 2 hours.
Punch down dough and divide into 4 portions.
Shape into loaves and place in 4 greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2-inch pans. Brush tops of loaves with melted shortening; sprinkle with almonds. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 375Β° for 35 to 40 minutes.
