This bread is always at our table for the holidays. It is a great bread for bakers who are intimidated by yeast breads. Make sure the yeast is fresh and the dough rises.—Robin Price, Argillite, Kentucky

Egg Bread Braids Recipe
  • Prep: 35 min. + rising Bake: 20 min.
  • Yield: 20 Servings
35 20 55

Ingredients

  • 1 package (2-1/4 ounces) active dry yeast
  • 1-1/4 cups warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3-1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 teaspoon water

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the egg yolks, oil, sugar, salt and 3 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough into six pieces. Shape each into a 16-in. rope. Place three ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Repeat with remaining dough. Combine egg white and water; brush over dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.
  • Brush with remaining egg white mixture. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 2 loaves (10 servings each).
