Directions
Let milk cool; add yeast and enough flour to make a sponge, about 1 - 2 cups. Put in a warm place and let raise good, about an hour. Then add to it sugar, butter, cardamom, raisins, citron and salt. Mix well. Gradually add enough flour to knead into a stiff dough. Let raise again good (another hour) and then make into 2 round loaves.
Let raise again; bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes. A raised nut bread can be made with this recipe by omitting the raisins and citron and adding 1½ cups chopped walnuts.
Many of the recipes in this collection did not contain amounts or oven temperatures. I have typed them in as they appear in the book, typos and all.
