Braided Herb Ring
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (2 3/4 to 3 1/4 cups)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 package Fleischmann’s® Rapid Rise Yeast
2 teaspoons fines herbes or sweet basil
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
In large bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, 1 1/2
teaspoons fines herbes and salt. Heat water, milk and 2 tablespoons butter
until very warm (125 to 130şF). Gradually add to dry ingredients; beat 2
minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.
Beat 2 minutes at high speed. With spoon, stir in enough remaining flour
to make soft dough.
Knead on floured surface until smooth, about 4 minutes. Divide dough into
3 pieces; roll each to 24-inch rope; braid ropes. Place braid on greased
baking sheet. Form into ring and pinch ends to seal; cover. Place large,
shallow pan on counter; half-fill with boiling water. Place baking sheet
over pan. Let rise 15 minutes.
Bake at 400şF for 25 minutes or until done. Melt remaining butter; brush
on ring. Sprinkle with remaining fines herbes. Remove from sheet; cool on
wire rack.
