Babka

• 5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1-2/3 cups milk
• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
• 1 cup golden raisins
• 1 cup chopped mixed candied fruit
• 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 tablespoon hot water
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, salt and cardamom. In a saucepan, heat milk to 120u0b0-130u0b0; stir in butter until melted. Add to flour mixture; beat until smooth. Stir in egg yolks, lemon peel and enough remaining flour to form a moderately stiff dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead in raisins and candied fruit. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide in thirds. Transfer to three greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 1 hour.
4. Bake at 350u0b0 for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Combine glaze ingredients; brush over loaves while warm.
