Servings: persons

3/4 cup canned no-salt-added chicken broth, undiluted
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon dried whole basil
1 teaspoon dried whole oregano
6 cups bread flour, divided
2 packages active dry yeast
2 cups very warm skim milk (120u00b0 to 130u00b0)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons bread flour
Vegetable cooking spray
1 egg white, lightly beaten

1
Combine broth and oil in a nonstick skillet. Place over medium heat until hot. Add onion, basil, and oregano; saute until onion is tender. Combine 2 cups flour and yeast; stir. Add milk to flour mixture, beating at low speed of an electric mixer. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Add onion mixture, cheese, and sugar. Stir in enough of the remaining 4 cups flour to make a soft dough.
2
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over work surface. Turn dough out; knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85u00b0), free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled.
3
Punch dough down; divide in half. Divide each half into 3 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 16-inch rope. Braid 3 ropes together on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray, pinching ends to seal; tuck ends under. Repeat procedure with remaining ropes.
4
Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 20 minutes or until doubled. Brush with egg white. Bake at 350u00b0 for 35 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped. (Cover with aluminum foil the last 15 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning, if necessary.)
