Braided Wreath Bread Recipe

Braided Wreath Bread

From henrie 15 years ago

Hope you enjoy this one, I love working with yeast. Nothing like the fresh smell of homemade breads baking in the oven. Enjoy

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugar, butter, 1 egg, orange peel, salt, extract, and 1 cup flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down and divide into thirds. Roll each portion into a 20 inch rope. Braid the rops. Shape into a wreath and pinch the ends to seal.
Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Beat the remaining egg. Lightly brush over dough. Bake at 350 F. for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan to a wire rack. Makes 12 servings
