Instructions
- In a stand mixer with the dough hook, combine all the dough ingredients and mix them until you have a smooth dough. If you have some crumble at the bottom of the mixer, add 1 tbsp of warm water and mix again until you have a smooth dough. This process takes about 5 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl and put the dough in it. Cover with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise for 2 hours.
- Gently deflate the dough and put it on to a lightly greased surface.
- Divide the dough into three pieces. Roll into 3 ropes that is the same length. Put it side by side, pinch one end and fold it down. Braid the loaf. At the end of the braid, pinch it and fold it down just like the other end.
- Place the loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover the loaf with a lightly greased plastic wrap and let rise for about 1 1/2 hour to 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Make egg wash by mixing 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water.
- Brush the top of the dough with the egg wash. Put another baking sheet under the baking sheet that has the dough. This will keep the bread from browning too much.
- Bake the bread at the 3 bottom row of your oven for about 20 minutes. If it gets brown, make a tent with aluminum foil to prevent it from browning even more.
- Bake again for another 10 minutes. Check the bread temperature. It should be at least 190 degrees F.
- Remove from oven and put on a rack to cool.
