A delicious and beautiful Jewish egg bread that can be enhanced with raisins, if you choose, or just a wonderful bread on its own. Rich and flavorful.

  15. Sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds
  16. Bake in 350 oven until thermometer inserted in center reads 205 and top is golden brown. Cover with foil if browning too fast.
