Ingredients

2 Package yeast
1/2 Cup warm water
1/2 Cup milk
1/2 Cup sugar
1/3 Cup butter
1 Teaspoon salt
5 1/2 Cup flour
3 eggs
1/2 Cup light raisins
1/2 Cup currants

Instructions

Soften yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Heat milk, sugar, butter and salt until butter melts; cool to lukewarm. Stir in 2 cups flour; beat well. Add yeast mixture and eggs; beat well. Stir in remaining ingredients and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead well; shape into a ball and place in greased pan. Cover and let rise until double in size. Punch down, and divide in half; let dough rest for 10 minutes. Shape into 2 round loaves; place on large, greased baking sheet. Cover. Let rise to double. Bake at 350 degrees about 25 min. (Watch carefully, so it won't burn!) Cool on rack.
