Directions
2 Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, salt, butter, and hot water. Mix well.
3 Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth€”about 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turning to coat top.
4 Cover; let rise in warm place until double€”about 1 hour.
5 Punch down dough. Reserve 1/3 dough. Cover and set aside.
6 Knead in the fruit. Make a 6-inch ball.
7 Using the 1/3 dough reserved, make a 12-inch circle. Place fruit ball in center of this circle and fold dough over it.
8 Grease an 8-inch cake pan. Flatten and pierce dough completely through all over with skewer or something similar. (This allows the steam to escape during baking.) Place in pan.
9 Bake in a preheated 350°F oven 1 1/2 hours. It is necessary to remove from pan the last 20 minutes and continue baking to brown the sides. Cool on wire rack.
