SUCCESS TIP
If your bread machine doesn't have a Raisin/Nut signal, add the citron 5 to 10 minutes before the last kneading cycle ends. Check your bread machine's use-and-care book to find out how long the last cycle runs.

Shaping
Twist ropes together pinch ends to fasten. Shape twist into a circle on cookie sheet pinch ends together.
