Directions
-
In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 1/2 cup, 110&# 194;°F/43ðC) and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the bread flour, salt, and dry skim milk.
-
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the yeast mixture, softened butter, whole egg, and egg yolk.
-
Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if too sticky, or water if too dry.
-
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
-
Punch down the dough and divide into three equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope.
-
Braid the three ropes together, pinching the ends to seal. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Brush the loaf lightly with a beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the bread is deep golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
