Italian Easter Bread

Ingredients:
1/4 cup Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1 package Dry yeast
2 1/2 To 3-1/2 cups unbleached flour
2/3 cup Milk
2 tbsp Butter
2 Eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup Mixed candied fruit
1/3 cup Chopped blanched almonds.
1/2 tsp Anise seed
2 tbsp Melted shortening
5 Uncooked eggs colored with Easter Egg Dye
ICING:
1 cup Confectioner's sugar
1 tbsp Milk
1/8 tsp Vanilla
Instructions:
colored sprinkles
In a large mixing bowl, blend the sugar, salt, and yeast well with 1
cup of the flour. In a saucepan, combine milk and butter, heating
slowly until liquid is warm and butter is melted. Pour the milk into
the dry ingredients and beat 125 strokes with a wooden spoon. Add
eggs and 1/2 cup flour or enough to make a thick batter. beat
vigorously for 2 minutes.
Then stir in enough flour to make a ball of dough that draws away
from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a floured board and knead
for about 10 minutes, working in additional flour to overcome
stickiness. Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease the
top. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and put in a warm, draft-free
place until doubled in bulk about 1 hour. Meanwhile, combine the
fruit,nuts, and anise seed. Punch down the dough and return it to a
lightly floured board. Knead in the fruit mixture, keeping the syrupy
pieces dusted with flour until they are worked into the dough. Divide
the dough in half. Carefully roll each piece into a 24 inch rope -
the fruit and nuts will make this slightly difficult. Loosely twist
the two ropes together and form a ring on a greased baking sheet.
Pinch the ends together well. Brush the dough with melted shortening.
Push aside the twist to make a place for each egg.
Push eggs down carefully as far as possible. Cover the bread with wax
paper and let rise in a warm,draft-free place until double in bulk,
about 1 hour. Bake the bread in a preheated 350 F oven for about 35
minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a twist comes out clean.
Place on a wire rack to cool. Once the bread is cool, drizzle the
icing on top between the eggs, and decorate with colored sprinkles.
Makes 1 loaf.
