Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the bread flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt.

2
Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, water, and olive oil until well combined.

3
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

4
Knead Dough

On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5
Let Dough Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

6
Divide and Braid Dough

Punch down the dough and divide it into 3 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope and braid the ropes together. Pinch the ends to seal and tuck them under the loaf.

7
Second Rise

Place the braided loaf on a greased baking sheet, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise again for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.

8
Preheat Oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

9
Egg Wash

Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the surface of the loaf.

10
Bake Bread

Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Remove the loaf from the baking sheet and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
