My name is Pat and I live in Michigan...
Here's an old, old German recipe for Christmas Bread. It's wonderful!
CHRISTMAS BREAD
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
12 Cups of bread flour
Make a hollow in the center into which pour:
3 Cups milk
1 lb. butter, melted
2 Cups sugar
1 box (10 oz) currants
1 1/2 tsp. cardamon spice
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 yeast cakes dissolved in 1/4 Cup warm water
1 beaten egg for brushing on top of loaf before baking
Work these ingredients into the flour until they form a stiff dough. Cover and let rise 12 hours in a warm place.
Shape the dough into 3 loaves and let rise until double in bulk. Brush tops with beaten egg.
Bake at 350º for about 1 hour. Cover loosely with foil if they brown too quickly (they will)
Bread is done when inside temp is 200º
