Ingredients:
1 package dry yeast |
1/3 cup sugar, divided |
1/4 cup warm water (105° to 115°) |
1/2 cup margarine, softened |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup frozen non-dairy creamer, thawed |
3 eggs, beaten |
1 egg yolk |
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided |
1 egg yolk |
2 tablespoons water |
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water, stirring well. Let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly.
2. Cream 1/2 cup margarine in a large mixing bowl; gradually add remaining sugar and salt, beating well. Scald non-dairy creamer; let cool to 105° to 115°. Add non-dairy creamer, yeast mixture, eggs, and 1 yolk, stirring well. Gradually add 2 cups flour, beating well. Stir in remaining 1 1/4 cups flour (dough will be sticky).
3. Place dough in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Stir dough down. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 4 hours.
4. Punch dough down; let rest 5 minutes. Divide dough in half. Divide one half into 3 equal portions; set aside remaining half. Shape each portion into a 10- inch rope. Braid ropes, pinching ends to seal. Place braided loaf in a greased 8-inch loaf pan. Repeat procedure with remaining half of dough. Cover and repeat rising procedure 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
5. Combine remaining yolk and 2 tablespoons water; beat well. Gently brush over tops of loaves. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped. Remove bread from pans immediately, and cool on wire racks. Slice and serve warm.
