GREEK CHRISTMAS BREAD 

  1   package (or 1 tablespoon) Active Dry, Yeast
      1/4  cup Warm Water (110 to 115, degrees)
      1/3 cup Sugar
      1  teaspoon Ground Cardamom
      1/4 teaspoon Salt
      1   Egg
      1/4    cup Milk
      1/4     cup Vegetable Oil
      1 1/2   cups Whole Wheat Flour
      1   cup All-Purpose Flour
      1/4    cup Golden Raisins
      1/4    cup Walnuts, chopped
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.
