ingredients

1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon honey
1 cup lukewarm milk
4 tablespoons butter, melted
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 egg yolk, beaten with
1 teaspoon milk, for glazing

directions

Combine the yeast, honey, milk, and butter, stir, and leave for 15 mintues to dissolve.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and egg. With a wooden spoon, stir from the center, incorporating flour with each turn, to obtain a rough dough.
Transfer to a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Place in a clean bowl, cover, and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
Grease a baking sheet. Punch down the dough and divide into three equal pieces. Roll to shape each piece into a long thin strip.
Begin braiding from the center strip, tucking in the ends. Cover loosely and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375*F. Place the bread in a cool place while oven heaats. Brush with the glaze and bake until golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Set on a rack to cool completely.

I like this a lot. I used olive oil in place of butter otherwise I followed the recipe (I didn't glaze it either). Tastes very good, makes great toast and is excellent for grilled cheese sandwiches, I made a 5 strand braid.

I picked out this recipe to use up a leftover egg yolk in my fridge, and I was pleasantly surprised! This is by far better than any sourdough or french bread that I have had or made. This almost sweet bread is good to snack on or to serve with butter during a meal. It's addictive!
