  into yeast mixture.
  
  Fit processor with steel blade.  Measure flour, butter, 2 tablespoons
  of the remaining sugar and salt into work bowl. Process until mixed,

  flour mixture.  Process until blended, about 10 seconds.

  mixture so dough forms a ball that cleans the sides of the bowl.
  Process until ball turns around bowl about 25 times. Turn off
  processor and let dough stand 1 to 2 minutes.
  
  Turn on processor and gradually drizzle in enough remaining milk to
  make dough soft, smooth and satiny but not sticky. Process until
  dough turns around bowl about 15 times.

  candied fruit peel into dough. Shape into smooth ball and place on
  greased cookie sheet. Flatten ball into a circle about 6 inches in
  diameter. Brush with oil and let stand in warm place until doubled,
  about 1 hour.
  
  Heat oven to 350 F.  Bake until bread sounds hollow when tapped, 40 -
  50 minutes.
  
  Mix cold water with remaining 1 tablespoon of the sugar.
  
  Remove bread immediately from cookie sheet and place on wire rack.
