Baking Tip
Eggs add nutrition and colour and bind ingredients together.

Use large eggs in recipes unless otherwise specified. Used in large quantities, eggs will colour dough yellow.

Preparation


SELECT loaf size.


ADD ingredients to machine according to manufacturer’s directions.


SELECT Basic White Cycle, Light Crust.


For a traditional braided bread, prepare dough in machine. When dough cycle is complete, remove dough to floured surface. Punch down; cover and let rest 5 minutes.


DIVIDE dough into 3 sections. Roll each section into 16" (40 cm) long rope. Braid the 3 ropes together. Place on baking sheet. Cover with tea towel. Let rise in warm place (75°-85°F/24°-29°C) until doubled, 30-40 minutes. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.


BAKE at 350°F (180°C) on middle oven rack for 20-25 minutes, or until golden. Remove from baking sheet immediately; cool on wire rack.
