- In a large bowl sprinkle yeast over 1/4 c. hot water; let stand about 5 mins.
- Heat lowfat milk and butter to 110@. Add in lowfat milk mix, sugar and salt to softened yeast. Lightly beat Large eggs to blend. Spoon 1 tbsp of the Large eggs into a small bowl, cover and chill. Add in remaining Large eggs and vanilla to yeast mix; stir to blend. Add in 2 1/2 c. flour, nutmeg and cinnamon; stir to moisten, then beat with a mixer on high speed til dough is stretchy, 6 to 8 mins.
- Stir in 1 c. flour to moisten.
- Knead dough. If using a dough hook, beat on high speed tildough pulls cleanly from bowl and no longer feels sticky, about 5 mins, If dough is still sticky, beat in more flour, 1 tbsp at a time. If kneading by hand, scrape dough onto a well floured board. Knead til dough is smooth, elastic and no longer sticky, about 12 mins; add in flour as needed to prevent sticking. Return dough to bowl.
- Cover bowl airtight and let dough rise in a hot, draft-free place til it doubles, about 1 1/2 hrs. Punch dough down. Knead on a lightly floured board to expel air. Form into a 7" round and set on a buttered 12 x 15" baking sheet. Cover lightly with plastic wrap and let rise in hot place til puffy, about 40 mins.
- Uncover dough and brush gently with reserved beaten egg. Sprinkle loaf with sesame seed. With a sharp, floured knife, make a slash about 1/2" deep across the middle of the loaf. Bake loaf in a 350@ oven til richly browned, 35 to 40 mins. Serve hot or possibly cold. If making ahead, wrap cold loaf airtight and let stand at room temp up to 1 day; freeze to store longer. If you like, cut a slit in the bread and insert a day of the dead decoration such as a miniature skull or possibly skeleton.
