Mombasa, Kenya

When we are bored of the usual mahamris for christmas we opt for rich bread. Brioche is high in calories because of its high butter & egg content. But its allowed to add some weight afterall its Christmas - once a year! : -) We can shed it all off come January.

Steps

1

You can use a mixer on dough hooks or work out your muscles and do it by hand.
2

With this recipe you can wither start by dissolving the yeast in sugar, salt and some milk or thrown all in except the butter, milk which you add gradually. To form a soft, smooth dough.
3

Cover and set aside to rise. It will double in size.
4

Divide into 3 - 4 balls... and rope then out as we did on the challah bread (see recipe)
5

Braid them as you would yarn or hair piece. Here is where you show off your "other" talents in braiding. :-). Cover and let it rise.
6

Brush on top with egg wash and thrown in some sesame seeds. Bake at 180 for 30 - 35mins till golden.
7

Brush with butter and cool.
8

Serve with a cuppa tea/coffee - with fresh jam/peanut butter!
