This Recipe for Egg Braid is one of thousands in the Recipes-to-go Bread Cookbook.
Nobody seems more obsessed by diet than our anti-materialistic, otherworldly, New Age spiritual types. But if the material world is merely illusion, an honest guru should be as content with Budweiser and bratwurst as with raw carrot juice, tofu and seaweed slime. |

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |

Makes 1 loaf
Combine 1/4 cup water, yeast and sugar. Stir to dissolve yeast and
let stand until bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Fit processor with steel blade. Measure flour, dry milk, butter and
salt into work bowl. Process until mixed, about 15 seconds.
Add yeast mixture to flour mixture. Process until blended, about 10
seconds.
Turn on processor and slowly drizzle the 2 beaten eggs through feed
tube and just enough remaining water so dough forms a ball that
cleans the sides of the bowl. Process until ball turns around bowl
about 25 times. Turn off processor and let dough stand 1 to 2 minutes.
Turn on processor and gradually drizzle in enough remaining water to
make dough soft, smooth and satiny but not sticky. Process until
dough turns around bowl about 15 times.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Shape into ball and place in
lightly greased bowl, turning to grease all sides. Cover with plastic
wrap and let stand in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down dough. Divide into 3 equal parts. Shape each part into a
strand about 18 inches long. Braid the strands loosely together.
Tuck ends under and pinch to seal. Fit braid into greased 8 1/2 x 4
1/2 x 2 1/2 inch loaf pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let
stand in warm place until almost doubled, about 1 hour.
Heat oven to 375 F. Beat remaining egg with fork. Brush egg over
braid. Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds over braid, if desired. Bake
until evenly browned, 25 ~ 30 minutes.
Remove immediately from pan. Cool on wire rack.
REFRIGERATOR EGG BRAID: Prepare dough through first rising and shape
