Instructions: Put all ingredients in large bowl, gradually adding flour, mixing until ready to knead. Knead 10 minutes and shape into a ball. Put into a greased bowl, let rise until doubled. Punch down and let rise again.

Then divide into 3 balls, roll out into long strands and braid. Put onto greased pans, brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with sugar. Let rise again.

Bake at 325 degree oven approximately 1/2 hour. Check for doneness.

Be careful, because even though the top may be dark the inside may not be done. If the bottom is brown, then the bread should be done.
