- Allow to cool to lukewarm.
- Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water, stir to dissolve.
- Add yeast, 3 eggs and 2 cups of flour to milk mixture.
- Beat with mixer on medium until smooth, about 2 minutes, occasionally scraping the bowl. Alternatively beat by hand with spoon until batter is smooth.

- Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Divide dough into 6 equal pieces.
- Roll each into 12 (30cm) strips.
- Braid 3 strips together to form a loaf, continuing with remaining 3 strips for second loaf, place on separate greased baking sheets.
- Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
- Brush loaves with a glaze using 1 beaten egg and 1 tblsp of water.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake in oven for 30 minutes or until loaves sound hollow when tapped.
