INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast
  •  
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon water

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place warm water, sugar, honey, vegetable oil, salt, 2 eggs, flour and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough cycle; press Start.
  2. After the machine is done, take the dough out, and place it on a very lightly floured board, punch the dough down, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough in half. Then divide into 3 equal pieces, roll into ropes about 12 to 14 inches, and braid into a loaf. Do the same with the remaining other half. Gently put the loaves on a greased cookie sheet, mist with water, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours in a warm, draft free place, until double in size.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, beat together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon water.
  5. Brush risen loaves with egg mixture. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. If it begins to brown too soon, cover with foil.
