1. In a bowl, sprinle yeast into milk; let stand for 5 minutes; stir to dissolve.
2. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the middle and add the yeast mixture.
3. Using a wooden spoon bring enough of the flour into the yeast mixture until a soft paste is formed (you won't use all of the flour in the "sponge"--leave the rest there); cover with a towel and let this "sponge" sit till frothy and risen, about 20 minutes.
4. Mix in the flour from the sides of the well to form a stiff dough.
5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead till smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
6. Put dough in a bowl and cover; rise till double--about 1 hour.
7. Punch down; rest for 10 minutes.
8. Grease a round mold, a deep cake pan, or a small saucepan about 8" across and 6" deep with softened butter; line the base and sides with baking parchment so that it extends 5" above the top.
9. Knead 7 tablespoons soft butter, eggs yolks, sugar, citrus peel, raisins, nutmeg, lemon and orange zests, and vanilla into the dough until thoroughly combined, about 5 minutes.
10. Shape the dough into a round loaf; place in prepared mold.
11. Use the tip of a sharp knife and cut an "X" across the top; cover and let rise till doubled, about 2 hours.
12. Brush the top with the egg glaze that has been mixed well.
13. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes; until a pick comes out clean.
14. Remove from mold and let cool in the baking paper on a wire rack.
15. Dust top with confectioners sugar to decorate.
