How to make it

- Punch down and devide into four pieces
- Take three pieces and roll between hands until about 12 to 16 inches long

- Take remaining pice and devide inot three equal pieces. Roll each piece into long thin strip. Braid these strips and place them around the large braid. This creates a beautiful, decorative loaf for special occasions. Allow to raise two double in size. Brush top with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in a 350 degree oven about 30 minutes or til a beautiful golden brown and makes a hollow sound when you thump the top. If you prefer you can place this dough in loaf pans. It should make three standard loaves. Enjoy
