Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups to 2 cups warm water
- 3 tablespoons dry activated yeast
- ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
- 6 cups plus 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 4 large eggs (beaten)
- ½ cup oil or melted butter
- poppy seeds or sesame seeds for topping
- 1 beaten egg
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast with 1 tablespoon sugar in warm water; set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together 6 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar and salt.
- Add beaten eggs and the water with dissolved yeast and sugar to the large bowl of flour.
- Stir in oil or melted butter and mix well with a wooden spoon. Once the entire mass sticks together turn out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, adding in that last cup of flour as needed to form a smooth, pliable glossy mass. Alternatively, this can be done in a stand mixer with a dough hook. Note: If dough isn't coming together, add more flour, a couple tablespoons at a time, until it pulls away from the bowl. You want the dough to be sticky though.
- Oil a large bowl then place dough into bowl flipping it over to make sure it is covered with the oil. Cover with a towel and let dough rise until doubled in bulk.
- Punch down, knead one or two times and then divide dough in half.
- Divide each half into either 3 strands (or 4 or 6 depending on how intricate your loaf braid will be.)
- Place each braided loaf on a greased large baking sheet (cook spray works well), cover with a dry towel and let rise a second time until loaves are double in size.
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush each loaf with a beaten egg, sprinkle poppy seeds or sesame seeds if you wish.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until bread is golden brown on the surface.
