List of Ingredients



It is Mexican in origin and commemorates Epiphany, January 6

1 16-ounce package hot-roll mix
2 large eggs
4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup golden raisins
3/4 cup diced mixed candied fruits
1 cup confectioners' sugar




Recipe

EARLY IN DAY OR DAY AHEAD:
1. In large bowl, dissolve yeast from hot-roll mix in 1/2 cup warm water (120 to 130 degrees F.); stir in mix, eggs, margarine or butter, sugar, and vanilla until mixed. Cover with towel; let rise in warm place (80 to 85 degrees F.), away from draft, until doubled, about 1 hour.

2. Stir walnuts, raisins, and 1/2 cup candied fruits into dough. Turn dough onto well-floured surface; knead until elastic and not sticky, about 5 minutes. Shape dough into a 20-inch-long roll; join ends to form a ring; place on greased cookie sheet. Cover with towel; let rise in warm place 30 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake bread 30 minutes or until it is golden and sounds hollow when lightly tapped with fingers. Remove bread from cookie sheet to cool on rack. When bread is cool, in small bowl, combine
confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons water; stir in remaining candied fruits; use to glaze top of bread. Makes 1 loaf or 8 servings.
