INSTRUCTIONS
Dissolve yeast in warm water. Beat 3 eggs in a large mixing bowl; add salt,
sugar, dissolved yeast, and butter. To this mixture, add 4 cups of the
flour (all at once). Stir in the flour and continue to add 3 more cups of
flour until the dough is of a soft consistency. Knead the dough on a
floured board until the dough is no longer sticky and is springy to the
touch. Place the dough in a greased mixing bowl and cover with a towel. Let
rise 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in bulk. Punch down the dough, knead it
a little, and divide it in 6 pieces. Roll each piece with your hands so
they become long, skinny ropes. Braid 3 ropes, pinching the ends together.
Repeat the process with the other 3 ropes. Place each braided loaf on it`s
own greased cookie sheet, cover with a towel, and let rise about an hour-
until doubled in bulk. Brush the loaves with the 2 beaten eggs, sprinkle
with poppy seeds or sesame seeds (optional). DO NOT PRE-HEAT OVEN- Bake in
a 350F degree oven about 45 minutes, until the bread is golden-brown.
