Regional Value Spotter, December 11, 1985 Festiv By Philomena Corradeno oes the memory of a Dhome aromatic with spices, freshly baked cookies and yeast breads fill you with the wishful yearning of the past? This holiday season, why not create that traditional redolence? Bread plays an important role in holiday festivities and ceremonies off many countries. Julekaka, a Scandinavian Christmas bread, is baked in coffee cans and comes out looking like A giant champagne cork. • It's spiced with nutmeg or cardamom and dotted with candied fruits, raisins and almonds. This one is made easy and foolproof with a hot -roll 'mix. If you can locate angelica, do buy a small amount. It adds an elegant touch to the topping. JULEKAKA .1 (16 -ounce) package hot -roll mix 2 tablespoons sugar I teaspoon ground nutmeg cjr 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom Holiday Breads 1 cup milk 4 tablespoons butter or . margarine, cut in chunks I egg, beaten 1 cup mixed candied fruits 1/2 cup golden raisins 3/4 cup slivered almonds frosting, optional Grease 2 one -pound coffee cans; set aside. In a large bowl combine yeast from the hot -roll mix, sugar and nutmeg. In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter until very warm (110-120F); butter does not need to melt. Add milk mixture and egg.

Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover dough with a large bowl; let rest for 5 minutes. Knead lightly and shape into two 5 -inch rounds. Place each round in a greased one -pound coffee can or on a greased baking sheet. Cover with a towel. Let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, 25 to 30 minutes. Preheat'oven to 375F. Uncover dough. Bake until bread sounds hollow when tapped with knuckles, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from coffee cans. Cool completely on a wire rack. Frosting: If desired, frost with '/4 cup confectioners' sugar mixed with I teaspoon lemon juice and / teaspoon water. Dribble over tops of bread and decorate with candied orange peel, cherries or angelica. Yield: 2 breads. King's Ring or King's Bread is traditionally served in Spanish- and French-speaking countries as well as in the French areas of New Orleans, La., on January 7 — Twelfth Night or Epiphany, otherwise known as Little Christmas. Sharing this festive bread is a focal point at parties. A tiny doll, large bean or unshelled nut is carefully wrapped in aluminum foil and tucked into the ring before it's baked. In Mexico, where the ring is called Rosca de Reyes, the person who finds the token is crowned king or queen of the evening, will have good fortune all year and must give a party on February 2, another religious holiday. It's a sneaky way to work in another party in less than a month. The Greeks have a similar custom. Their Ayi Vassilopiva, a New Year's cake -bread, has a gold coin hidden inside. 1 got it the past two years at a party given by good friends. 1 think they might wipe me off their guest list. It's exciting and fun to make this bread part of your Christmas minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Combine candied orange peel and pineapple. Roll dough into a 14 x 12 -inch rectangle. Sprinkle fruit mixture over dough. Wrap unshelled pecan, dried bean or doll in aluminum foil. Place in center of dough. Beginning at long end, tightly roll dough as for jelly roll;, pinch seam to seal. Roll dough gently from center to ends to form a rope about 25 inches long and 11/2 inches in diameter, being careful to keep pecan (bean or doll) hidden. On large greased baking sheet festivies. form into ring; seal ends together. Make 8 slashes around top of ring. Cover; let rise in warm draft -free place until doubled in size (about 1 hour). Beat egg white and cold water; brush on ring. Sprinkle with granulated or multicolored sugar. Bake at 350F for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Remove from baking sheet; cool on wire rack.
