• 4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and cut in half Cut each half into 3 pieces Roll each piece out into long "snakes" about 18" long Braid three of the snakes together into a loaf and tuck the ends under Make another braid with the 3 remaining snakes Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with cornmeal Transfer the loaves to the baking sheet Leave room between the loaves for them to rise NOTE: Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may need to use two.

Steps:

• 1. Cut butter into small pieces, and place in saucepan with milk and sugar. Over medium heat bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to 110º-115º. NOTE: If milk is too hot, it will kill lthe yeast action. If you don't have a thermometer, test the milk on the inside of your wrist. It should be just barely lukearm. Sift flour and set aside.
• 2. Whisk 2 eggs until light and frothy When milk is at proper temperature, add the eggs and salt to the milk and pour into bread machine pan.
• 3. Carefullly pour flour into pan, making sure that all liquid is completely covered by flour. Make small indentation in center of flour and pour yeast there.
• 4. OPTION ONE: Turn bread machine on to Dough cyclo. Machine will ding when dough cycle is complete. Remove dough from bread machine pan and place on floured work surface (waxed paper or cutting board). Cut dough into three equal pieces. Roll three pieces into long snakes about 18" long. Braid the snakes together into a loaf and tuck the ends under. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with cornmeal. Transfer the braided loaf to the baking sheet. Cover loaf with a clean towel or cheesecloth and let rise until nearly doubled in size (about 1 hour).

Skip instructions steps 3 through 6 above Turn bread machine to basic cycle, crust to medium. When cycle is complete, remove from bread machine and brush the bread with egg wash (1 egg & 1 tablespoon of water whisked briskly). Place in 350º oven for 5 minutes to "seal" the egg wash. Or, you can skip the egg wash and just brush with melted butter (Either way is fine).
