Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes. Knead in raisins, candied fruit, peels and nuts. Place dough in oiled bowl, turning to coat all surfaces. Cover with damp towel. Let stand in warm draft-free area until doubled, about 45 minutes.

Notes: I found this recipe in my mother's recipe box, but I have no idea where she got it. I am told you can use dried mixed fruits rather than candied if you prefer.
