Add to flour mixture along with egg. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping bowl. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Stir in dried fruit and as much of the remaining flour as you can. Knead in enough of the remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6-8 minutes).

Cover; let rise in a warm place till nearly double (45-60 minutes).Bake in a 375* oven for 30-35 minutes or till golden. Cover loosely with foil the last 10-15 minutes, if necessary.
