Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- ½ cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs (1 for egg wash)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for about five minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add eggs (reserve one), activated yeast mixture, and oil. Mix until combined.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for about eight to ten minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place kneaded dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size—about one hour.
- Punch down dough gently, divide into three equal pieces, roll each into long strands about twelve inches long, then braid them together.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place braided loaf on a lined baking sheet. Brush with reserved egg wash before baking for about thirty minutes or until golden brown.
