Yield: 15 Servings
| 1 | pk | (or 1 tablespoon) Active Dry Yeast |
| 1/4 | c | Warm Water (110 to 115 degrees) |
| 1/3 | c | Sugar |
| 1 | ts | Ground Cardamom |
| 1/4 | ts | Salt |
| 1 | | Egg |

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Combine the sugar, cardamom, salt,
egg, milk and oil in a large bowl. Mix well. Add the yeast mixture,
flours, raisins and nuts. Mix well. Add enough extra flour to make soft
dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and
elastic, about 5 minutes. Shape into a round loaf. Put the dough into a
lightly-oiled 8-inch-round cake pan. Cover with a damp towel and let rise
in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Bake in a 350-degree
oven 35 to 40 minutes, or until brown.
