Recipe
Grease both halves of 3-D Pan. Reserve one cup flour.

to touch (125* - 130*F). Stir hot liquid into flour
mixture. Mix in egg yolks. Add only enough reserved
flour to make soft dough. On floured surface, knead 5
minutes or until dough is smooth and no longer sticky.
Cover dough and let rest 10 minutes. Knead in mixed
fruit and cranberries. Divide dough in half. Shape in
egg pan, placing seam side up. Let rise until doubled
in size.
Preheat oven to 400*F. Brush top of loaves with
melted butter and bake 10 minutes, reduce heat to
350*F and bak an additional 40-45 minutes, or until
browned. Cool 5 minutes, remove from pans. Brush
again with melted butter. Serve warm or cool.
