Mix warm water and fresh yeast in a bowl; let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and raisins and sultanas.

Add the yeast mixture, condensed milk, egg, and fresh orange juice to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf; place in a greased loaf pan.

Cover the loaf and let it rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
