Ingredients

1 pack (or 1 Tbsp.) active dry yeast
1/4 C. warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
1/3 C. sugar
1 tsp. ground cardamom
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/4 C. milk
1/4 C. vegetable oil
1 1/2 C. whole wheat flour
1 C. all purpose flour
1/4 C. golden raisins
1/4 C. walnuts, chopped

Cooking Instructions

Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Combine the sugar, cardamom, salt, egg, milk and oil in a large bowl. Mix well. Add the yeast mixture, flours, raisins and nuts. Mix well. Add enough extra flour to make soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Shape into a round loaf. Put the dough into a lightly oiled 8 inch round cake pan. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hr. Bake in a 350 degree oven 35 to 40 minutes, or until brown.
