Directions:
- Makes 3 loaves
- Disolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water and proof.
- Combine sugar 2 cups water, oil and salt. Blend well.
- Add 4 eggs and blend well.
- Add 5 cups of flour and blend.
- Add remaining flour one cup at a time until dough pulls together.
- Knead adding flour if necessary until dough is elastic and pulls away from the bowl. This is best done in a heavy duty mixer, but can be done by hand.
- Dough is kneaded when a golf ball size piece can be stretched without tearing.
- Place in greased bowl, cover and let rise until doubled.
- Punch down and knead by hand for another minute or two.
- Divide into thirds and shape into loaves.
- You may use bread pans or for a beautiful loaf, divide each of the three doughs into thirds and shape into ropes and braid.
- Let rise until doubled.
- Brush with egg wash (one beaten egg and a splash of water)
- Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds
- Bake in 350 oven until thermometer inserted in center reads 205 and top is golden brown. Cover with foil if browning too fast.
- Note: For holidays such as Hanukkah, many add raisins. This is done during kneading.
