1 1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter
1 cup diced mixed fruit bits

2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 packages fast-rising yeast
1 lemon, grated peel of
1 cup water

directions

Grease both halves of 3-D Pan. Reserve one cup flour. Mix 4 cups flour, yeast, sugar, grated peel and slat in large mixer bowl.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush top of loaves with melted butter and bake 10 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 40-45 minutes, or until browned.

Cool 5 minutes, remove from pans. Brush again with melted butter. Serve warm or cool. Serve with molded egg butters.
