- Sprinkle the fruit and nuts with the tablespoon of flour.
- When the machine beeps, or between Knead 1 and Knead 2, add the raisins, lemon peel, and nuts.
- The dough ball will look dry at first and take about 7 minutes to smooth out; it will still be moist.
- Make the icing: combine the icing ingredients in a small bowl, whisk until smooth.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more milk, a few drops at a time; Thick but pourable is recommended.
- When the baking cycle ends, remove the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack with a sheet of parchment or large plate underneath.
