- 1. Put together 2 cups flour and yeast in a large mixer bowl.2. Heat lowfat milk, sugar, shortening, water and salt in a saucepan over low heat till very warm (120 to 130 degrees F.), stirring to blend. Add in liquid to flour-yeast mix and beat till smooth, about 3 min on medium speed of electric mixer. Blend in large eggs. Add in 1 cup flour and beat 1 minute. Stir in fruit and almonds; add in more flour to make a soft dough.
- 3. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead till smooth and satiny (5 - 10 min). Cover dough and let rest 20 min. Divide dough in half.
- 4. For each braid, take two-thirds of one portion of dough and divide into thirds. Roll each piece with hands into a 15-inch strand. Braid strands on lightly greased baking sheet. Divide remaining third into thirds; form three 18 inch strands. Braid strands loosely; place on first braid, pressing in lightly. Tuck ends of top braid under ends of bottom braid. Brush with oil. Let rise in a warm place till double in bulk (about 45 min).
- 5. Bake at 350 degrees F. 25 to 30 min or possibly till golden. Remove from baking sheets to wire rack. While braids are still slightly warm, ice with almond icing. Decorate with candied fruits and nuts, if you like. 2 large loaves.
