INGREDIENTS

  • Liquid

    • 💧 1 cup warm water
    • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • Sweeteners

    • 🧂 ½ cup white sugar
    • 🍯 1 tablespoon honey

  • Eggs

    • 🥚 2 large eggs, room temperature
    • 🥚 1 large egg

  • Seasonings

    • 🧂 2 ½ teaspoons salt

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 4 cups bread flour
    • 2 ¼ teaspoons bread machine yeast

  • Egg Wash

    • 💧 1 tablespoon water

STEPS

1

Place warm water, sugar, oil, eggs, honey, salt, flour, and yeast into a bread machine in the order listed, or follow the order recommended by the manufacturer if different. Select Dough cycle; press Start.

2

Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done and place on a lightly floured board. Punch dough down and let rest for 5 minutes.

3

Grease a baking tray.

4

Divide dough in half, then divide each half into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into ropes, about 12- to 14-inches long. Braid 3 ropes into a loaf to form 2 loaves. Gently place loaves onto the prepared baking tray. Mist loaves with water and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

5

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

6

Make egg wash: Beat together egg and water in a small bowl until well combined.

7

Brush the top and sides of loaves with egg wash.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. If loaves begin to brown too soon, cover them loosely with aluminum foil.
