Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 egg
1 egg white
¼ cup warm milk
water as needed
¾ stick unsalted butter, melted
1 egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

Place flour into a bowl, creating a small hole in the center. Sprinkle salt around the edge and place yeast and sugar into the hole.
Mix egg and egg white together in a 2-cup measuring cup. Add enough water to reach the 1 1/4 cup mark. Stir in milk. Add melted butter. Pour into the center of the flour. Mix thoroughly, adding more milk or flour as needed until dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let rise for 30 minutes.
Cut dough in 1/2. Form each 1/2 into a long roll. Lay rolls out in front of you on a work surface in an 'X' shape. Braid bread by constantly switching the ends. Place bread onto a baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Brush bread with beaten egg using a pastry brush.
Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until golden, about 30 minutes.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3 cups warm water
1 (7-gram or .25-ounce) packet active dry yeast
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons honey
All-purpose flour, for countertop
1 egg

Steps:

In a bowl, stir together the water and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes.
In a stand mixer, with a paddle attachment, mix the flour and salt. Pour the yeast into the flour and add the honey. Mix slowly until the mixture is just incorporated and the dough is formed.
Remove the dough from the mixer and knead by hand on a lightly-floured surface. Knead for 1 minute.
Place the dough in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 30 minutes.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and roll into a loaf shape. With kitchen scissors, or a sharp paring knife, cut 6 notches into the dough at a 45-degree angle. Take one piece of dough and pull it left, the next piece of dough, pull right. Repeat with all pieces until you have a shape that resembles leaves on a branch. Transfer to a baking sheet and let rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a fork, beat the egg with 1 teaspoon water and brush the egg wash onto the top of the bread. Bake the bread for 20 minutes, or until golden and baked through.

This is a batter bread, and one my mom made often when we were still at home. This bread only has one rising. I have doubled this recipe for 2 loaves with fine results. Leftovers make awesome French Toast the next day!

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
Measure your ingredients accurately: This is especially important for baking, as even a small difference in measurements can affect the outcome of your recipe.
Follow the recipe carefully: Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing. If you're new to baking, it's best to stick to the recipe as written.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make your bread tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the yeast to activate and the dough to rise properly.
Bake the bread at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time: Underbaking or overbaking can ruin your bread.
Let the bread cool before slicing it: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
