teaspoons baking powder

teaspoons salt

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large mixer bowl. Add buttermilk,

granulated sugar, margarine, eggs, baking powder, salt and 2 1/2 cups of

the flour. Beat on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat

on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in remaining

flour, the candied fruit, pecans and lemon peel. (Dough will be soft and

slightly sticky.)

Turn dough onto well-floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic,

inches. Place close together on greased cookie sheet. Braid strips; shape

into circle and pinch ends to seal. Cover; let rise in warm place until

double, about 1 hour. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when

touched.)

Heat oven to 375º. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Mix powdered

sugar and milk; drizzle over wreath while warm. Decorate with green and

red candied cherries, if desired.
