List of Ingredients




1 cup water
2 eggs
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons shortening
3 2/3 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon yeast

Glaze:
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water


Recipe



1. Measure ingredients for dough into baking pan of bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Insert pan into oven chamber and select dough cycle.

2. Remove dough to a lightly floured board; cover with a large bowl and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Divide into 5 portions. Roll each with the palm of your hand into long, smooth ropes 1 inch in diameter. Taper at ends leaving the middle thicker.

3. Braid three ropes and place on prepared baking sheet. Twist the remaining 2 ropes, pinching ends together. Centre on the top of the braid. Press lightly.

4. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for 30 - 45 minutes or until doubled in volume. When the dough has risen, beat together egg yolk and water and brush braid with glaze.

5. Bake in preheated 375 F oven for 30 - 35 minutes or until braid sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
