Egg bread
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add egg yolks, 3 eggs, oil, sugar, and salt. Add about 3-1/2 cups of flour to make a sticky dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in the remaining flour until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to coat the entire surface of the dough with oil. Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place for 1-1/2 hours. Punch down the dough and divide into 3 parts. Roll each part into a rope about 12 inches long. Braid the three ropes together and pinch the ends. Place the bread on a greased baking sheet. Beat the remaining 1 egg with a pinch of salt; brush over the bread. Let the bread rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush the bread with egg once more. Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool before serving.
