Mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large bowl.

Warm milk until lukewarm and add to the dry ingredients.

Melt butter and let cool, then add to the mixture along with eggs.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Incorporate chopped almonds, currants, raisins, candied citrus peel, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon zest into the dough.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Shape the dough into a loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 40-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
