Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 pkgs. active dry yeast
- 2 TBS butter (shortening)
- 1 TBS sugar
- 1 TBS olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 4 1/2 cups bread flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, butter, sugar, olive oil and salt. Let it stand for 5 minutes.
- Place 2 1/2 cups of the flour in a large mixing bowl and add the above liquid mixture to the flour, beating on low until thoroughly blended. Add as much of the remaining flour as necessary to make a nice bread dough. Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 6 â 8 minutes.
- Shape into a ball, place into a lightly greased bowl, cover and let rest for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch the dough down and divide into six equal size pieces. Cover and let the pieces rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll each of the pieces into a 12â long rope. Use 3 ropes per loaf of bread, braid and secure the ends. Place the braided loaf onto a greased baking sheet, cover and let rest 1/2 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Uncover the bread and brush with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 25 minutes, until golden. Let cool and ENJOY!
