HONEY-ROASTED NUTS AND FRUIT
Tasty snack from Cooking Light that provides a concentrated source of carbohydrates from the raisins, along with protein and "good" fats from the nuts. Feel free to substitute nuts and fruit according to your preference, or what you have on hand. I don't care for raisins, so I used craisins (dried cranberries) ; I found I was out of slivered almonds, so I substituted some chopped macadamias. I especially loved the addition of cardamom--added an unexpected element.

Steps:
- Place 1/2 cup warm milk and 1 teaspoon sugar in large bowl; sprinkle yeast over and stir to blend. Let stand until yeast dissolves and mixture looks foamy, about 5 minutes. Mix in 1/2 cup flour to form soft sponge. Cover sponge and let stand until very light and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
- Whisk eggs, honey, butter, lemon and orange peel, salt, remaining 1/4 cup milk, and 6 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl to blend. Stir egg mixture into sponge. Mix in 3 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, to form soft dough. Mix in additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough is soft and just barely sticky. Turn out onto floured work surface. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, sprinkling with more flour by tablespoonfuls if still sticky, about 8 minutes.
- Butter another large bowl. Form dough into ball. Place in bowl; turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Gently press dough down. Sprinkle with all fruits and nuts; knead in bowl to distribute evenly.
- Remove center tube of an angel food cake pan and place an 8-inch-diameter tart pan bottom inside to create 12-cup baking mold. Spray mold with nonstick spray, then butter and flour pan. Form dough into round. Place in prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm draft-free area until almost doubled in volume and almost level with top of pan, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake pan dulce until deep brown on top and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let stand in pan 5 minutes. Turn out onto rack and cool completely. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap in foil and store at room temperature.
- *Available at some specialty foods stores and candy stores.
Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly: To ensure the best results, activate the yeast before using it. In a small bowl, combine the warm water (110-115°F) with the sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is foamy and active.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final product. Use fresh, ripe fruit and nuts, and make sure the honey and spices are of good quality.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten and give the bread its structure. Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place in order to double in size. The ideal temperature for rising is between 75-80°F. You can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on, or in a warm spot in your kitchen.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown: The bread is done baking when it is golden brown on top and sounds hollow when you tap on it. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the bread should read 190°F.
Conclusion:
Honey Pan Dulce is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is perfect for special occasions or everyday snacking. With its sweet honey flavor, crunchy nuts, and chewy dried fruit, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a new bread recipe to try, give Honey Pan Dulce a try. You won't be disappointed!
