DOUGH

1/2 oz yeast (active), dry (2 packages)
2 cup water, warm
4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar, granulated

9 cup flour, all-purpose (more if needed)

GLAZE

1 large egg
1 sesame or poppy seeds

Preparation
 
Mix yeast in warm water. Let sit 5 minutes. In a large bowl combine
salt, sugar, eggs and oil. Add yeast mixture. Slowly add flour,
stirring until not too sticky. When the dough becomes too thick to
stir, turn it out onto a floured board and knead, adding flour as
necessary. Scrape the working surface with a plastic dough spatula
from time to time, to keep a dry skin from forming on it. You may
find that you need more flour, but don t add too much more, or the
dough will become heavy. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic
(about 10 minutes).

Form dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled large bowl,
turning to coat the dough with oil. A ceramic bowl is best. Cover
the bowl with a clean cloth and leave in a warm, draft-free place to
rise for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in bulk. After the dough has
risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 balls. Let the dough balls
sit for 5 minutes, covered.

Keeping dough balls covered while working, remove a ball and roll it
between your hands (or on working surface) into a cord about 1 inch
wide by about 20 inches long. The dough is quite elastic, making it
nicely workable, yet also tending to make it shrink back slightly
after being lengthened. I find it best to lengthen it in a series of
passes. Form 3 cords this way, and then start from the middle and
braid them into a single loaf. Tuck the ends under. It s a little
harder to figure out how to start braiding from the middle, but the
loaves come out more even and attractive that way. Don t pull the
cords while braiding. Place the loaf on a lightly oiled baking sheet,
and cover it with a cloth while you form the other loaf. Keep the
loaves well apart on the baking sheet, since they will expand a lot.
Cover the loaves and place again into a warm, draft-free place to
rise for 45-60 minutes.

After the loaves have risen, gently brush the tops with beaten egg
using a soft brush, and then sprinkle with the seeds. Bake at 350
degrees F. for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
