Method for "Russian Easter Bread"
Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening, raisins, candied fruit, almonds, lemon peel and 3 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched. Punch dough down; divide into halves. Shape each half into round bun-shaped loaf. Place in two well-greased 3-pound shortening cans.* Let rise until double, 40 to 50 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place cans on low rack so that midpoint of each can is in center of oven. Bake until tops are golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. If tops brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from cans. Spoon Lemon Icing over tops of warm bread, allowing some to drizzle down sides. Trim with tiny decorating candies if desired. Lemon Icing: - Mix confectioners’ sugar, water and lemon juice until smooth. Icing should be of glaze consistency. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons water if necessary.
