Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl (or stand mixer), combine almond milk and brown sugar.
  2. Sprinkle the yeast overtop and let stand 5 minutes, until foamy.
  3. Combine flours, nutmeg, sugar, orange zest, flaxseeds and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  4. To the foamed yeast mixture, add the zucchini and vanilla, stirring well.
  5. Add 3 cups of the dry mixture to the bowl and begin mixing (on low speed), until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
  6. Add in remaining dry mixture, and allow the mixer to begin kneading the dough.
  7. Continue working the dough with the dough hook, slowly beating in margarine cubes one at a time. It should become very shiny and soft.
  8. Continue kneading for 10 minutes.
  9. Turn into an oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise 1 1/2 hours, until doubled in volume.
  10. Lightly grease two loaf pans, set aside.
  11. Punch down the dough, divide in half and roll one portion out into a rectangle on a (very) well-floured surface. Roll it out lengthwise as far as possible- The longer the dough, the more spirals you will get in the finished bread.
  12. Beat together the almond butter and Earth Balance in a small bowl until very fluid.
  13. Spread the rectangle with half the almond butter, leaving 1/2 on one long side clear.
  14. Mix together the chocolate chips, cranberries, ground almonds and cinnamon, then sprinkle half evenly over the dough.
  15. Starting with the long edge that is completely covered, roll up the dough as tightly as possible.
  16. Arrange the log with the two ends next to each other (like a squashed horse shoe), then twist together.
  17. Carefully fit the twist into one pan.
  18. Repeat with the remaining half of the ingredients.
  19. Cover and let rise 1 hour, until just about doubled.
  20. Preheat oven to 350F.
  21. Bake for 40 – 50 minutes, until golden and hollow sounding when tapped.
