To make the sponge : Stir yeast and sugar into lukewarm water; let
stand a few minutes. Scald and cool milk to lukewarm. Add softened
yeast to milk. Add the flour; beat smooth. Let rise in warm place
until light and bubbly. To make the dough: Cream together the butter,
sugar and salt. Add beaten eggs, nutmeg and lemon rind. Blend this
mixture with the risen sponge. Thicken with enough flour to make a
stiff dough. Add raisins and nuts dusted with flour. Knead until
smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl; brush lightly with
shortening. Cover; let rise in warm place until double in bulk. Turn
out on a lightly floured board; shape into houska loaf. Brush top
with egg mixed with milk. Bake 45 minutes at 350F.
