Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup warm milk (120°F), divided
1 teaspoon plus 6 tablespoons sugar
2 envelopes active dry yeast
3 3/4 cups (about) all purpose flour, divided
2 large eggs
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, very soft room temperature
1 teaspoon (packed) finely grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon (packed) finely grated orange peel
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup chopped candied orange slices* or candied orange peel
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped Calimyrna figs
1/4 cup dried tart cherries
1/4 cup chopped roasted salted cashews
1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds
Nonstick vegetable oil spray

Steps:

  • Place 1/2 cup warm milk and 1 teaspoon sugar in large bowl; sprinkle yeast over and stir to blend. Let stand until yeast dissolves and mixture looks foamy, about 5 minutes. Mix in 1/2 cup flour to form soft sponge. Cover sponge and let stand until very light and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
  • Whisk eggs, honey, butter, lemon and orange peel, salt, remaining 1/4 cup milk, and 6 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl to blend. Stir egg mixture into sponge. Mix in 3 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, to form soft dough. Mix in additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough is soft and just barely sticky. Turn out onto floured work surface. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, sprinkling with more flour by tablespoonfuls if still sticky, about 8 minutes.
  • Butter another large bowl. Form dough into ball. Place in bowl; turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Gently press dough down. Sprinkle with all fruits and nuts; knead in bowl to distribute evenly.
  • Remove center tube of an angel food cake pan and place an 8-inch-diameter tart pan bottom inside to create 12-cup baking mold. Spray mold with nonstick spray, then butter and flour pan. Form dough into round. Place in prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm draft-free area until almost doubled in volume and almost level with top of pan, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake pan dulce until deep brown on top and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let stand in pan 5 minutes. Turn out onto rack and cool completely. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap in foil and store at room temperature.
  • *Available at some specialty foods stores and candy stores.
