Approximate pr eparation time: 10 to 15 minutes,
plus 3 hours rising and resting, 30 minutes baking, and
1 hour or longer cooling

water in a large liquid measuring cup. Let sit until foamy ,
about 5 minutes. Add beaten eggs; stir gently
to combine.

Cuisinart
®
Food Processor . Add the flour, r emaining
sugar, salt and butter and pr ocess on the dough speed
until combined, about 10 to 15 seconds. With the
machine running on dough speed, add liquid through
the feed tube as fast as the flour absorbs it. Once the
dough cleans the sides of the work bowl and forms a
ball, process for 45 seconds to knead dough. Dough
should be smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a large gr eased glass bowl, turning
dough to grease the entir e surface, cover bowl with

down and repeat the rise. In war mer weather, allow
dough to rise overnight in r efrigerator.
Once risen, punch dough down and divide into two
equal parts. Divide each half into three equal parts. Roll
each piece into a long rope. Braid the strands loosely
into two separate loaves. Place on two separate baking
sheets lined with parchment paper . Cover with plastic
until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

seeds. Bake until golden brown, about 25 to 30
minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
