How To Make braided bread with sugar and milk

• 1

  Mix yeast and warm water, and let sit so that the yeast can react. The yeast should begin to foam.
• 2

  Mix dry ingredients together.
• 3

  In a small saucepan, heat milk, rosewater, butter, and egg yolks. Be careful not to let the eggs cook and become solid. (I used regular water as i was out of rose water).
• 4

  Mix yeast/water with dry ingredients. When thoroughly incorporated, mix in milk/egg mixture until a dough is formed.
• 5

  Knead dough, then cover, and let rise about an hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
• 6

  Punch down the dough and form into the desired shape (one or two braided loaves, rolls, etc.). Again, cover and let double in size.
• 7

  Bake bread at 350 for about 20 minutes. (If making rolls, you may need to adjust the time.)
• 8

  Liberally butter top of loaf.
