  • Prep: 45 min. + rising Bake: 25 min.
  • Yield: 25 Servings
45 25 70

Ingredients

  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 1 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon each sesame, caraway and poppy seeds

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, butter, sugar, egg yolk, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. 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 until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough into thirds. Shape each into a 20-in. rope. Place ropes on a large greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°. Combine egg white and water; brush over dough. Combine salt, onion and seeds; sprinkle over bread. Bake 22-28 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. Yield: 1 loaf (25 slices).

This bread is wonderful. The outside bursts with flavor to match the tender texture of the inside. I have used this recipe for pizza dough & it's great that way too'

Made the bread and everyone loved it! I took out the caraway seeds and added minced garlic instead. going to make it today without the sugar. Should be awesome!

This is a wonderful bread! I made it to take to a soup feed and received many positive comments. I mixed this in the bread machine and had to add quite a bit more flour than the recipe calls for. After braiding it, I brushed it with the water/egg white mix but did not add any of the toppings. It was still very good and one I look forward to making again. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

FABULOUS. I started it in the Kitchen Aid also, using the kneading hook for about 6 minutes. I then took it out and gave it another minute or two of hand kneading because there was some flour that was caught up right next to the hook. Did make into two loaves and next time will try less salt.

I love the texture and flavor of this bread. I made it in my Cuisanart with the plastic "blade" and it came out great! The next time I will make two loaves so I can share it with my friends! It is beautiful as well as delicious!

Wow, wonderful bread! I did the same thing that another person did.....mixed the dough in the bread machine. It has such a light and beautiful texture! I omitted the caraway seeds, as I'm not crazy about them, and something else I think I'll do when I make it again is to leave the salt out of the seeds when I mix them, then lightly sprinkle on the salt after I've put the seeds on the bread. Sometimes i get a bite that is a little too salty for my taste, but overall, this bread is a winner! I'll make it frequently.

If I use my dough hook on the Kitchen Aid Mixer, how long should I "knead" it? Thanks.

I haven't made this yet, but I would like to this morning. I only have skim milk. Will that work? Thanks. I am a non yeast person, so am anxious to see if I can be successful with this recipe. Wish me luck.

Excellent texture and taste. I didn't have any eggs in the house or milk, so I used half and half and cut it with water by one half, and it still turned out great. It was very easy to handle while braiding and turned out beautiful. I love the hands on approach.

the only thing I changed was the caraway seeds as I just don't like them. Awesome bread, I love making bread and this one will be in my rotation! Thanks for the recipe!!!
