Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Place first 3 ingredients in a small measuring cup. Allow yeast to become frothy, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix flours, salt, and Stevia in a mixer using the dough hook or stir by hand. Add all remaining wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Pour in yeast mixture and kneed for 10 minutes. The dough will be very sticky. When smooth in texture, no lumps, turn off mixer and remove dough hook from bowl or place dough in lightly greased bowl. Cover and allow to rise for 1 hour.
  2. After 1 hour, dust top of dough with flour and punch dough to release air. turn dough out onto floured surface and cut into quarters. Roll 3 of the pieces of dough into ropes. Braid together and place on greased baking sheet. Cut remaining dough into 3rds and make 3 more ropes. Braid these together and place on top of larger braid. Allow loaf to rise for 45 minutes.
  3. 20 minutes before baking time (25 minutes into second rising), preheat oven to 325'F. 5 minutes before baking time, brush egg wash over loaf. (To make egg wash, combine equal parts egg yolk and water and mix together). Sprinkle loaf with sesame seeds and bake for 27-32 minutes .
  4. **Once cooled, store in zipped plastic bag. Because there is less oil, this bread drys quickly when left out. The bag keeps it perfectly moist.
