-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 packages active dry yeast -- (.25 oz)
1/2 cup warm water -- (110F/45C)
2 cups hot milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup water
5 eggs
11 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1. Proof yeast and 1/2 cup warm water in a large mixing bowl.
2. Combine hot milk, sugar, butter, salt, and 1/2 cup water in a
medium bowl. Cool to 110F.
3. In small bowl, slightly beat 5 eggs, then add to cooled milk
mixture. Add milk mixture to yeast mixture. Add 2 cups flour and beat
until smooth. Slowly add remaining flour until it forms a stiff
dough. Knead on a floured board for 10 minutes (5 minutes with a
bread hook). Place in a large glass or plastic bowl lightly greased.
Turn dough over to grease both sides. Cover and let rise in a warm,
dark place until doubled in volume, approximately 60 minutes.
4. Punch down, cover, and let rise again until double, approximately
30 minutes.
5. Punch again, and form into three parts. Form each part into a
20-inch roll. Braid rolls on a large, greased cookie sheet. Cover and
let rise until doubled.
6. Lightly beat remaining egg and brush loaf. Sprinkle with sesame
seeds. Bake in preheated 350F (175C) oven for about 55 minutes until
nicely browned. May be made into two regular sized loaves. Reduce
baking time slightly.
