A Unique And Delicious Braided Bread

I got this from my relative a few years ago and now everyone loves it!!

Combine the yeast , honey , milk , and butter , stir , and leave for 15 mintues to dissolve.

In a large bowl , mix together the flour and salt.

Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and egg.

With a wooden spoon , stir from the center , incorporating flour with each turn , to obtain a rough dough.

Transfer to a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.

Place in a clean bowl , cover , and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume , about 1 1 / 2 hours.

Grease a baking sheet.

Punch down the dough and divide into three equal pieces.

Roll to shape each piece into a long thin strip.

Begin braiding from the center strip , tucking in the ends.

Cover loosely and leave to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375f.

Place the bread in a cool place while oven heaats.

Brush with the glaze and bake until golden , 40 to 45 minutes.

Set on a rack to cool completely.
