DIY Recipes: How to make Egg bread
Egg bread is a special delicacy and very simple and easy to make.
Ingredients
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) of active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1-1/2 cups warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
3 large eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
7 to 7-1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 large egg yolk, room temperature
2 tablespoons water
Sesame seeds
Method
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, eggs, butter, sugar, salt, and 3 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough
Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Punch down dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 6 portions. Roll each portion into a 14-in. rope.
For each loaf, braid 3 ropes together on a greased baking sheet; pinch the ends to seal and tuck under.
Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 50 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°.
Beat together egg yolk and water; brush over loaves. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake until golden brown, 30-35 minutes.
Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
