Ukrainian Paska Easter bread
ABM Russian Easter Bread

2 1/2 cups bread flour
1/4 cup light cream or half and half
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoon yeast
1/2 cup raisins and glazed cherries, mixed

Heat milk, half and half and butter till butter melts. Add to
remaining ingredients in the order your machine requires. Add the
raisins/cherries when your machine stops for adding "extras".

This is a recipe I devised for use with my ABM. I don't usually
bake the bread in the ABM, but I do mix the dough and let it do
the first rise there.  If you do the whole thing in the machine,
use the Sweet Bread, light setting. If you bake it in the oven, do
it for about 25 minutes at 350.  Cover top with foil for last 10
minutes if it browns too quickly.

I put mine in a coffee can to make the traditional "top hat" shape
to bake, but it also works as a round loaf when baked on a cookie
sheet. Will make two small loaves, or one large one. This is a high
riser in the bread machine.
