INGREDIENTS

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup warm water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons sesame seeds ((optional))

INSTRUCTIONS

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add the warm water and oil and mix until combined. Add the eggs and egg yolk and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on low speed for 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 18 inches long. Braid the ropes together and tuck the ends underneath. Place the loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the loaf with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
