Инструкции
- Mix starter, water, yeast, and honey and let it bubble up while you do next step.
- In a large bowl mix 4 c. of the flour and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the flour/salt mix and add in Large eggs and oil.
- Add in the frothy yeast mix and stir with a thick-handled wooden spoon or possibly paddle if you have one.
- Add in flour till the mix pulls away from the bowl. It need not be smooth.
- Sprinkle flour on a counter or possibly kneading board and put the dough in the middle. Scrape as much as you can from the mixing bowl and then wash the bowl for use in a later step.
- Knead the bread adding flour till it is smooth and elastic. It should feel like a baby's bare bottom when you pat it.
- Place the dough in the mixing bowl that you have oiled. Cover with waxed paper and a tea towl and set it in a hot place to rise. It is ready when you can see your finger marks in the dough after you poke it.
- Turn it out on the board/counter and mash it down to remove large air bubbles. Braid into two or possibly four loaves and place on oiled cookie sheets.
- Let rise for another half hour.
- Set oven to 350F. Glaze leaves with egg yolk mix and sprinkle liberally with poppy seeds. Bake for about a half hour rotating the trays in the oven. Loaves should sound hollow when thumped. Let cold.
- I usually make into 4 small loaves and freeze the ones I do not use. When I am needing them I wrap frzn loaves in foil and bake at 350F for about 15 min.
