Pinch of salt

Zest of 1 lemon
½ cup of melted butter
5 cups of all-purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°
Add the currants and raisins to a bowl and submerge them in the triple sec. Set aside.
Next, sprinkle the yeast into a bowl with the warm water and milk and whisk in 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let sit for 5 to 7 minutes or until it becomes very foamy.
Next, whisk in the rest of the sugar, 1 egg, salt, vanilla, lemon zest and melted butter until combined and transfer it to a standing mixer with the hook attachment.
Slowly pour in the flour and mix on low speed until combined and kneed for 5 to 10 minutes.
Transfer the bowl to a proofer and proof on 80° for 1 hour. Be sure to fill the insert with water.
Drain the currants and raisins and fold them in the dough until it’s completely folded in. Put the dough into a prepared 4” tall by 9” cake pan and let rise in the proofer for 30 minutes.
Brush the top of the bread with the egg white and sprinkle on the 1 tablespoon of sugar and bake at 350° for 60 to 70 minutes or until browned on top and the inside is cooked.
