A Number One Egg Bread
This makes all other egg breads look weak. I learned the recipe from two older ladies in Hawaii. This makes the best bread pudding and french toast imaginable. Try cutting it in chunks and dipping it in fondue---WOW!
π Recipe adapted from AllRecipes
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water.
Stir in the yolks, 3 eggs, oil, sugar, and salt.
Add about 3-1/2 cups of flour to make a sticky dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead with remaining flour until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes.
Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn to oil the entire surface of the dough.
Cover with a damp cloth.
Place in a warm place until double in size, about 1-1/2 hours.
Punch down the dough, and divide into 3 pieces.
Roll each piece into a rope about 12 inches long.
Braid the three strands together, and seal the ends.
Place the bread on a greased cookie sheet.
Beat the remaining 1 egg with a pinch of salt; brush onto bread.
Let the bread rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Brush the bread with eggwash again.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden.
Cool on a wire rack.
