    List of Ingredients




    2 cups pitted, chopped sweet cherries about 3/4 pound
    1/2 cup water
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 teaspoon almond extract
    ---
    1 cup skim milk
    1/2 cup mashed potatoes
    2 tablespoons margarine
    4 3/4 cups bread flour divided
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 package dry yeast
    vegetable cooking spray
    1 egg white lightly beaten
    1 tablespoon sliced almonds
    1 tablespoon sugar

    Recipe



    Combine cherries, water and 1/4 cup sugar in a small saucepan; bring to a
    boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 7 minutes or until thickened,
    stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in almond extract. Let cool.
    Heat milk over medium-high heat in a heavy saucepan to 180° or until tiny
    bubbles form around edge. (Do not boil.) Remove from heat; add potato and
    margarine, stirring until margarine melts. Let cool until very warm (120° to
    130°).
    Combine 2 cups flour and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; stir well. Add
    milk mixture; stir until smooth. Add 2 cups flour; stir until a stiff dough
    forms.
    Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and
    elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough remaining flour, 1 Tbsp at a time, to
    prevent dough from sticking to hands. Place dough in a large bowl coated
    with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place
    (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
    Punch dough down, and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly
    4 to 5 times. Roll dough into a 16 x 8-inch rectangle. Place on a baking
    sheet coated with cooking spray. Spread cherry mixture lengthwise down
    center third of dough. Make diagonal cuts, 1 inch apart, on opposite sides
    of filling to within 1/2 inch of filling. Fold strips alternately over
    filling from each side, overlapping at an angle. Cover and let rise in a
    warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
    Uncover dough. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with almonds and 1 Tbsp sugar.
    Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Let
    cool on wire rack.
    Yield: 1 loaf/ 16 slices.
