Ingredients

0.75
0 3/4 cup lowfat milk 3.0
3 each bay leaves 2.0
2 each package baker's yeast 0.75
0 3/4 cup sugar 2.0
2 tsp sugar 1.0
1 cup cold water 7.5
7 1/2 cup Flour, bread, unenriched 0.5
0 1/2 cup Margarine, 80% fat, unsalted 1.5
1 1/2 tsp salt 1.0
1 each eggs 1.0
1 each cooking spray 0.25
0 1/4 cup Apples, unsweetened, frozen 0.5
0 1/2 tsp cornstarch 1.0
1 tsp sesame seeds

Directions

Microwave the bay leaves in the milk on HIGH for 2 1/2 minutes or until milk boils, let cool and discard the bay leaves.
Mix the yeast and 2 teaspoons of the sugar into the warm water and allow mixture to sit for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl stir together the remaining sugar with 2 cups of the flour, margarine, salt, and egg.
Mix in the yeast and cooled milk mixture and use an electric mixer on medium to blend well.
Slowly add 5 more cups of flour, beating well, until a soft dough has formed.
Knead the dough out on a lightly floured surface until smooth and stretchy. Use the remaining flour as you are kneading to prevent dough from sticking to your hands.
Coat a large bowl with cooking spray, add the dough and turn to coat all sides of dough with spray.
Let dough rise, covered, for 1 hour in a warm place.
Bring the apple juice and corn starch to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook for 1 minute stirring constantly. Let cool.
Once dough has risen punch it down, place on a floured surface and let stand for another 5 minutes.
Divide dough into 6 equal parts and form each piece into a 20-inch long rope.
Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and place 3 of the ropes on half of the tray. Pinch the ends together of the 3 ropes.
Braid together the 3 ropes and pinch end together. Braid together the remaining 3 ropes on other half of tray.
Cover braids and let rest for 1 hour in a warm place.
After rising brush braids with the apple juice mixture and sesame seeds.
Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Remove and let cool on a wire rack.
