Ingredients:

  • 2 packages (1/4 oz each) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110o to 115o)
  • 1-1/2 cups warm milk (110o to 115o)
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tbsp cold water
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, shortening, sugar, salt, 3 eggs and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Divide each portion into thirds. Shape each piece into a 12-in. rope. Place three ropes on a greased baking pan; braid. Pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  4. Beat remaining egg and cold water; brush over braids. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2 loaves.
