Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Stir in the yolks, 3 eggs, oil, sugar, and salt. Add about 3-1/2 cups of flour to make a sticky dough.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead with remaining flour until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn to oil the entire surface of the dough. Cover with a damp cloth. Place in a warm place until double in size, about 1-1/2 hours.
  • Punch down the dough, and divide into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 12 inches long. Braid the three strands together, and seal the ends.
  • Place the bread on a greased cookie sheet. Beat the remaining 1 egg with a pinch of salt; brush onto bread.
  • Let the bread rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F . Brush the bread with eggwash again.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden.
  • Cool on a wire rack.

    Added a pic for you. Made hoagie rolls out of recipe for some smoked sausage links. I wasn't that impressed with the flavor for having 9 eggs in the mix but mother loved the rolls.
    I'm being a little miserly with my eggs lately. The flavor was good but not as a proportional function of the egg ratio.
