Sesame Braided Vi-Bread 1 egg, plus water to make 1 cup 1 tablespoon honey 1/4 cup ViSalus Vi-Shape shake mix 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast 2 1/4 cup bread flour 1 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup instant mashed potatoes Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water) or Quick Shine* Sesame seeds, as needed In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the egg-and-water, honey, shake mix, yeast, and bread flour. Knead until the mixture is smooth and is becoming elastic. Add the salt, butter, and mashed potato flakes. Knead slowly at first until the butter is incorporated, then increase the speed and continue kneading until the dough is smooth, elastic, and feels a little bouncy if you press it. Cover the mixer bowl with plastic wrap and set aside until the dough has doubled in size - about an hour. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or sprinkle it with cornmeal. Flour your work surface, turn out the dough, and divide it into three equal pieces. You dont need to be completely precise, but get the as close to equal as you can. Roll each piece into a rope about 15 inches long. Line the three ropes up and pinch the three together at one end. Braid the ropes together and pinch the ends together when youre done. Transfer the finished braid to the prepared baking sheet. Tuck the pinched ends under and adjust the loaf so its straight and even. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside until doubled in size - about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
