Cut dried fruits and cherry halves into small cubes.

Stir the yeast in the milk with ½ tsp sugar until smooth.

Add flour to a mixing bowl, then add remaining sugar, salt, butter, orange zest, gingerbread spice and dissolved yeast; knead with an electric hand mixer’s dough hook until a dough forms.
