1/2 c Nonfat milk
1/2 c + 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 Envelope yeast
1/4 c Warm water, 105-115 degrees
1/4 c Nonfat egg substitute
-equivalent to 1 egg
1 ts Vanilla
3/4 ts Salt
2 1/2 To 3 cups flour
1 c Cranberries, coarse chopped
2 ts Melted butter
Heat milk and 1/2 cup sugar in saucepan to scalding, then cool to lukewarm.
Combine yeast and warm water in mixing bowl, stirring until yeast is
dissolved. Add cooled milk mixture to yeast mixture in mixing bowl. Stir in
egg substitute, vanilla and salt. Beat in 1 cup flour. Beat in enough
remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead about 10 minutes, until smooth
and elastic. Put dough into greased bowl. Let rise in warm place until
doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over chopped
cranberries. Let stand while bread rises. Drain excess liquid off
cranberries. Knead cranberries into dough. Shape into round. Spray baking
sheet with non-stick cooking spray, or grease lightly. Place dough round on
baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Brush top
of bread with butter. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Bake at
375 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool to warm.
Makes 8 servings.
Notes:
1. It is important to let the milk and sugar mixture cool completely before
adding it to the yeast. Or else you will kill the yeast and end up with
flat bread.
2. If after draining the liquid from the cranberries and kneading in the
dough is moist and sticky, just add a little more flour.
