Steps

1

Let yeast dissolve in warm water for about five minutes.
2

Whisk in honey, oil, salt, and 2 of the 3 eggs.
3

Add one cup of flour at a time, mixing as you go.
4

Turn onto floured surface, kneading until smooth and elastic. You may need to add up to a half cup more of flour.
5

Place in oiled bowl for one and a half hours.
6

Punch dough out and separate into two equal balls. Knead each ball for five minutes.
7

Separate each ball into three logs, about an inch thick in diameter.
8

Pinch the ends of the logs together and braid the dough. Pinch the ends and tuck under. You can leave it as is, or you can wrap it around like a braided circle.
9

Let sit for one hour.
10

Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush the remaining egg on top and put in oven for 20-30 minutes.

NOTE: It may taste like plain white bread when you first take it out, but if you let it sit for a little, you will get the egg bread taste.
