Sprinkle yeast on the warm water; let stand a few minutes; stir to blend. Stir in milk, sugar, salt, cardamon, eggs and 2 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in melted butter. Add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough which is easy to handle. Cover dough and let rest for 15 minutes. Turn out dough on floured board; kneed until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bole, then turn dough greased side up. Cover dough with a damp towel. Let rice in warm place (85 degrees) until double in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down cover, then let rise again until almost doubled (about 1/2 doubled).Divide risen dough into 3 equal parts. Turn 1/3 of out risen dough on lightly floured board and divide into thirds again. Shape each portion into a rounded strip about 16 inches long. Braid 3 strips together; pinch ends and tuck under. Place on lightly greased baking sheet; cover; let rise about 20 minutes until fluffy, but not doubled. Brush with beaten egg; sprinkle with sugar and slivered blanched almonds, if desired. Bake at 375 degrees or until lightly browned.Makes about 8-10 slices per finished loaf depending on the size of the slices.Number of Servings: 32Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user HAFOWLER.
