I won best of show at the county fair with this favorite yeast bread. I like to shape the dough into an attractive braid. It smells wonderful coming out of the oven, and everyone likes the texture and flavor. -Marie Hattrup Sparks, Nevada

The braid was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would use a different recipe next time.

The braid didn't turn out as golden brown as I expected. I think I might have underbaked it.
