Step One
Romanian Cozonac or Colac - a Christmas Bread
Ingredients
4 cups flour
1 cup milk, heated ( I have used Almond Milk that was vanilla flavored, found in the organic section or the Lactose Free Milk)
3 eggs, beaten lightly ( I have used Egg Beaters)
1 indiv package of yeast or 2 1/4 tsp
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar, plus ( I have used Fructose to cut down on the GI)
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla and rum flavoring each

Place items in bread machine in order. Put on dough setting. It will rise and then select dough setting again. Once it has gone through the dough setting 2x take the dough out and roll it on a floured surface. Then slather the filling up to the edges of the dough. Roll the dough up with the filling on the inside and place back into the bread machine and select bake.

Step Three
Second Option:

3 TBSP Cocoa
4 TBSP Sugar ( I have used Fructose)
1-2 TBSP Milk (Once again I have used the Almond Milk or Lactose Free Milk)
Small bag of slivered Almonds or crushed Walnuts

Mix the three together to make a paste.
Tips & Warnings

* Use flour for bread machines
* Plan to spend 4 hours total, however you can walk away while the bread machine is working, so you can get other stuff done and not have to spend 8+ hours just on the bread.
* Do not use Organic substitutions for the flour, I tried this and it just doesn’t turn out right. TO cut back on glycemic index use fructose instead or egg beaters to cut back on cholesterol, etc.
