Add remaining flour 1/2 C at a time beating well after each addition. When the dough pulls away from the bowl, turn it out onto floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, aprox. 8 minutes. Spray a large bowl with non stick spray; place dough inside, cover and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour. Punch dough to deflate.

Place braids on parchment paper, cover loosely with kitchen towel and let rise in for 30 minutes. Brush bread with egg and sprinkle with salt. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
