Mix well.3Add the yeast mixture and 1 1/2 cups of the flour, then mix well. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Coat a large bowl with the oil and add the dough, turning to coat. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place (85?F) free from drafts until the dough has doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.4Punch dough down. Divide into thirds; roll each third into an 18-inch rope. Braid the ropes together on a greased baking sheet. Pinch ends. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.5Preheat the oven to 350?F.6For glaze, combine the egg and water in a cup and brush over the braid. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack.Serving Size: 8 SlicesNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CSAM1430.
