Time 5h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups bread flour, plus additional for dusting
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons ground cardamom
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/4 pound (1 stick) salted butter, diced
2 ounces fresh yeast
3 large eggs
2 cups raisins
1 1/2 cups candied citron or other candied fruit

Steps:

  • Fit a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Combine the flour, sugar, cardamom and salt in the mixer bowl. Combine the milk, butter, yeast and 2 eggs in another bowl, then incorporate into the dry ingredients with the mixer at low speed, 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium and beat until the dough is sticky but will not stick to your hand, about 12 minutes.
  • Add raisins and citron on slow speed to incorporate, about 1 minute (do not overmix).
  • Let the dough relax in the mixing bowl, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Mix to knock down, then remove to a flour-dusted table.
  • Divide into four pieces and let rest, covered, 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Form dough into desired shapes, such as round loaves. Beat remaining egg and paint dough with egg wash. Transfer dough to a pan. Let rise again, covered, until doubled, 1 to 2 hours. Paint again with egg wash. Bake until the loaves are deeply brown and sound hollow when tapped, 25 to 30 minutes. Let fully cool.

I'm not usually a fan of cardamom, but it works surprisingly well in this recipe. The Julekake is still sweet and delicious, but the cardamom adds a nice depth of flavor.
