Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine the flour, salt and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Then add the honey, the warm water and whole eggs. Mix well until the dough is well-defined, barely sticky and easy to handle ball. Knead by hand for a minute or so.
  3. Lightly oil a large bowl. Shape the dough into a rough ball, place in the bowl and cover with a lid, plastic wrap or a damp towel for at least 1 1/2 hours or until nearly doubled in bulk.
  4. Deflate the ball and cut into 6 equal pieces; shape them into balls and let them rest on a lightly floured surface for about 15 minutes, covered with a dry clean towel.
  5. Roll each of the balls into ropes about 14 inches long and 1 inch thick. Braid them on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  6. Beat the yolk with 1 teaspoon of water and brush the top of each loaf with this mixture. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
