Ingredients:

  • 2 packages (1/4 oz each) active dry yeast
  • 1-3/4 cups warm water (110o to 115o)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1-1/2 tsp salt
  • topping:
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 5 tsp sugar

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the eggs, sugar, extract, oil, salt and 4 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a large bowl coated with cooking spray; turn once to coat top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Punch dough down; turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into thirds; shape each portion into a 20-in. rope. Place ropes on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray; braid. Pinch ends together, forming a round loaf. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 40 minutes.
  4. Beat egg and water; brush over loaf. Sprinkle with sugar and almonds. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf (24 slices).
