Cardamom Braid

Cardamom Braid
This recipe was given to Spice House staff by Karolyn Mizell of Lincoln, Nebraska

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm fat-free milk (70-80 degrees)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 3/4 cups bread flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons (1 envelope) active dry yeast
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Preparation Instructions:

In a bread machine pan, place the first seven ingredients in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Select "dough" setting. Check dough after about 5 minutes and add 1-2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed.

When cycle is complete, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into thirds and shape each piece into a 20" rope. Place ropes on a parchmented baking sheet and braid together. Pinch off the ends to seal and tuck under. Cover braid and let rise in a warm place until doubled.

In a small bowl, mix egg and water. Brush mixture over dough and sprinkle with sugar and almonds. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire rack to cool.
