Add 1 tablespoon of yeast and mix together.

Pour in 1 1/2 cups of warm milk and mix until stretchy and elastic.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter and mix until combined.

Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and stretchy.

Add 1 egg if a richer flavor is desired (optional).

Grease a bowl with oil, place the dough in it, cover, and let it rest for 45 minutes until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough to remove air bubbles and fold in the mixed dried fruits.

Divide the dough into four parts and shape them as desired.

Roll the dough and place it in a greased loaf pan, beautifying it with diced colored cherries if desired.

Cover and let it rise for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven and egg wash the bread before baking.

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
