BRAIDED BREAD
"This dough is easy to handle and cooks into a soft delicious bread. This recipe came from my sister-in-law, Norma. I taught at a school near George and Norma's farm and spent many weekends as a guest at their house. Norma is a terrific cook and she taught me a lot about cooking and being a good hostess. Their 'the coffeepot is always on' reputation meant baking never lasts more than a day. It was an ideal place to practice my skills and try new recipes."
3 cups warm milk
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup butter
4 eggs
2 tablespoons quick rising yeast
8 to 10 cups flour
Mix above ingredients, adding enough flour to make soft dough. Place in a lightly greased bowl to rise until doubled.
Punch down and divide into 4 equal pieces. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Divide each of the pieces into 3 equal pieces and form into long rope shapes. Braid the dough ropes. Tuck ends under and place on a greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough. Rise until doubled.
Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 25-30 minutes.
VARIATION:
Brush loaves with egg yolk beaten with 2 tablespoons water and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. You can also substitute 3 cups oatmeal for some of the flour.
