How To Make mustard and thyme braided bread

• Step 1
  Heat whey. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Then allow to cool to warm.
• Step 2
  Add yeast and whisk leaving no clumps.
• Step 3
  Let sit for 10 minutes, until bubbly.
• Step 4
  In a mixing bowl, add all dry ingredients. Mix.
• Step 5
  Then add mustard. Do not stir.
• Step 6
  Pour in yeast mixture. Mix well. Should be quite sticky.
• Step 7
  Dump dough onto flour surface. Knead with floured hands, adding flour when kneaded.
• Step 8
  Then in a lidded pot, spray with non-stick oil and set the dough in.
• Step 9
  Allow to rise for 1 hr. Then remove and punch down. Knead once again for 2 minutes. Then put back in pot for another hour.
• Step 10
  Then divide dough in half. Form into desired loaves. I like to make one smaller loaf sometimes and some braided dinner rolls.
• Step 11
  Optionally sprinkle with kosher salt and cook in oven at 350 for about 40 min. The rolls about 20 min if you choose to do so.
• Step 12
  Also, you can optionally paint with melted butter, fresh out of the oven. Then allow to cool and serve.
