Granny White  
With a mixer or dough hook, beat in 2 cups (1/2 liter) of the flour.  
Beat in the yeast mixture. Beat in another 2 cups flour, the five  
whole eggs, one by one, and the white of the sixth egg. Beat until  
smooth.  
If you are not using a dough hook, put aside the mixer and begin  
working the mixture with a wooden spoon, Add 3 more cups (3/4  
liter) of the flour and mix until the resulting dough becomes  
unwieldy.  
Scoop the dough out onto a floured work surface and add 1/2 cup  
(125 ml) of the flour. Knead with your hands, adding more flour  
until all the remaining flour is absorbed. The dough will now be  
soft, elastic, smooth, and still a bit sticky.  
Place the dough in an oiled 3−qurt (3−liter) or larger bowl, and  
turn the dough until it is oiled all around. Cover the bowl with  
a dry dish towel, and place in a warm spot until it rises to nearly  
3
times its original bulk −− 3 to 4 hours.  
When the dough has risen, punch it down and knead in the raisins  
and citron. Cut the dough into four equal parts.  
Butter four casseroles or souffle dishes. Fix a collar of  
double−folded and buttered aluminum foil around the inside of each
