Ingredients

1.5 ounce fresh yeast (50 grams) or 2 tsp active dry yeast1.25 Cup tepid water.25 Cup white flour1/3 Cup granulated suger1/4 Cup corn oil3 large eggs1 tsp salt3.25 Cups white flour1 large egg

Directions

In a very large bowl,

Combine the first 3 ingredients and let set 20 to 30 minutes.

Combine next 4 ingredients and add to the first 3 ingredients above.

Then add 3.25 Cups of white flour, cover with plastic wrap and let it stand until double in size. (About 1.5 - 2 hours)

Punch down the dough, knead for 5 minutes and split into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece to about 12 inches long and braid.

Place on a greased baking tray, cover and let it sit about 20 minutes. Stick your finger into the dough and if it does not bounce back it is ready for the oven.

Brush the top with egg wash and bake until golden brown.

When you thump the bottom of the loaf it should sound hollow.

Heat induction oven to 375 F. or 180 C. bake about 40 minutes

Serving Size:�About 40 slices 2 cm thick. The loaf will yield about 20 large slices. I cut the loaf in half long ways then slice each half into 20 - 2 cm thick slices. See photo.

Gazpacho is one of my favorite summer meals, and it's no coincidence that it's also one of the easiest to make. It's simply a chilled, usually blended vegetable soup of Spanish origin.

For someone who knows nothing about this kind of bread making, this was fun. I was surprised by how soft the dough was and worried that it might not work out for me. It made it! Mine is not shaped as well, but this is all a new thing. Will probably try again. - 12/27/14

Note: This is my first attempt at recording a recipe and I am making some mistakes. The amout of flour in the first 3 ingredients is .25 Cup not 3.50 cup. The cooking temp and time has now been added. Please forgive me for the mistakes and thanks for the encouragement.
