Recipe: Babka (Polish Easter Bread)

Here is a recipe I adapted for the bread machine. I have another recipe for Babka Wielkanocna that uses candied citron that I can try and adapt for you--just let me know if you want it in a post.

Babka (bread machine)

3 1/2 tsp yeast
3 oz warm water
3 oz milk
3/8 cup sugar
3/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
3 oz shortening
4 cups flour
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped almonds
3/8 tsp vanilla

Place all the ingredients except raisins and almonds in bread maker. Use the sweet bread setting. Add raisins and almonds at the beep. When done, drizzle with lemon icing.
