Instructions
- Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Heat milk, water and butter until very warm (120° to 130°F). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add mixed fruit, currants, raisins and enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
- Divide dough in half; roll each to 12 x 7-inch rectangle. Beginning at short end, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Place, seam sides down, in 2 greased 8-1/2 x 4-1/2-inch loaf pans. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.
- For Powdered Sugar Glaze, combine powdered sugar and milk. Stir until smooth. Drizzle over cooled loaves.
