I have had some requests for some of my favorite recipes. The garden is in full swing, so the veggie recipe gets made a lot right now. The blueberry muffins are always welcome and the celebration bread bread is amazing (and easy). I love elephant ears at the fair, but don't love the price! I have made this recipe many times and it is always a hit with the kids! Hope you all have a great day!

Celebration Bread Braid
Mix together and allow to set for 15 minutes (yeast will proof and mixture will get bubbly if yeast is activated):
2 pkgs dry yeast (or 2 tbls)
1 cup warm water (110-115 degrees)
¼ cup sugar
Add:
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs
1tsp salt
Mix in:
3 cups flour and beat on medium for 3 minutes
Stir in 1 ½ - 2 cups additional flour to form a soft dough.
Kneed (in mixer or by hand) till smooth and elastic.
Place in greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place till doubled, about an hour.
Punch down dough, dived in to 4 equal pieces and shape each piece into a 18 inch rope. Place ropes parallel to each other on a greased baking sheet. Beginning from the right side, braid dough by placing the first rope over the second rope, under the third and over the fourth. Repeat till you reach the end beginning each time from the right side. Pinch ends to seal and tuck under.
Cover and let rise until double (about 45 minutes).
Beat egg yolk and water; brush over braid.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. |
