Ingredients

5-3/4 to 6-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 (6-3/4 tsp.) envelopes Fleischmann’s^® RapidRise^® Instant Yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange peel
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup butter or margarine
3 eggs
1-1/2 cups raisins
Egg Glaze
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
Orange Glaze
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange peel

Directions

Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, undissolved yeast, salt and orange peel in a large mixer bowl. Heat water, milk, honey and butter until very warm (120° to 130°F). Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and 1 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in raisins and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
Divide dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece to 24-inch rope; braid ropes. Place in heavily greased 10-inch tube pan, bringing ends together to seal. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1-1/2 hours.
Brush with Egg Glaze. Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack. Drizzle with Orange Glaze.
Egg Glaze: Whisk egg and water in a small bowl.
Orange Glaze: Combine powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange peel in a medium bowl. Stir until smooth.
