grease the entire surface, cover bowl with plastic wrap and let
rise until the dough has doubled
in size, about 2 hours. For a lighter loaf, punch dough down
and repeat the rise. In warmer weather, allow dough to rise
overnight in refrigerator.
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.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Brush loaves with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake until golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a
wire rack.
TIP: To make one 1-pound (500 g) loaf, halve all ingredients
and follow the same instructions.
