Recipe

Exchanges
Yield: 1 loaf.. (16 servings)

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1/4 cup margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram, crushed
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds, toasted, divided
Egg substitute equivalent to 1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water; set aside. In large mixing bowl, combine margarine, salt and milk. Stir in yeast mixture, 2 cups flour, herbs and 2 tablespoons almonds. Beat until well-mixed. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place dough in a bowl coated with nonstick cooking spray, turning once to grease top. Cover; let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down and cut off a third; set aside. Divide remaining dough into three equal parts, shaping each into a 14-in. rope. Braid ropes and place on a baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray.

Divide set-aside dough into three ropes and braid. Place smaller braid on top of larger braid. Cover; let rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Combine egg and water. Brush over entire loaf; sprinkle with remaining almonds. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes
