Braided egg bread
This was my first attempt making braided egg bread.It turned out good and everybody likes it.The recipe calls for 11 cups of flour so it's a really big hunk of dough.Instead of making such a large loaf I made 4 smaller(normal) sized loaves and 1 large loaf from the 1 batch of dough.It's tasty bread.Couple pics.

Nice braids. I've tried the five braid version a couple of times but I get lost in the sequence at about the third cycle so mine don't look as nice as yours. But one of these days I'm going to get that one figured out.
I guess some might question why the smaller sized loaves are curved.I couldn't find the cookie sheet and so I used pizza pans for the 4 smaller loaves.Had to sorta curve them around putting 2 loaves on each.
Gorgeous loaves! I am tempted to try this next. I buy sesame seeds white, tan and black) at Indian stores. They are so much fresher because of the volume of turnover and so much cheaper by the pound. I think you pay less for a pound than what you pay for a little jar. If you have an Indian store nearby, check it out.
