Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Place the @egg yolks{3%large}, @eggs{3%large}, @vegetable oil{66%g}, @cold water{302%g}, @all-purpose flour{930%g}, @granulated sugar{99%g}, @salt{18%g}, and @instant yeast{17%g} into a large bowl (or the bowl of your stand mixer) in the order in which theyre listed. Mix just until the dough comes together to form a shaggy mass; using your mixer equipped with the dough hook, this will take about ~{3%minutes} on low speed.
Knead the dough, by hand or mixer, until its smooth and well-developed; this will take 5 to ~{6%minutes} at medium speed using your mixer.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a reusable cover and allow the dough to rise at room temperature for ~{1%hour}. Refrigerate the dough for ~{1%hour}, or until its thoroughly chilled.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and transfer it to a lightly greased work surface. To make two large loaves, divide the dough in half; each half will weigh about 824 g.
Note: For three smaller loaves see tips below.
Working with one piece of dough at a time, divide it into three, four, or six pieces (to make a standard braid, a four-strand braid, or a six-strand braid). To make the six-strand braid pictured above, divide into six pieces, each about 137 g. Preshape each piece into a rough log; youre going to be rolling them into long strands. Cover the logs. Repeat with the remaining piece of dough, dividing it into six pieces (or however many you need for the braid you want to make).
Let the covered logs relax for about ~{20%minutes}.
Uncover the logs. Working with the dough for one loaf, roll each log into a strand about 20" long. Make a six-strand braid; for help with this technique, check out our video, How to braid a six-strand loaf.
Repeat to make the second loaf.
Place each loaf on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Cover the loaves and let them rise at room temperature until theyre almost doubled in size, about 1.5 to ~{2%hours}.
Towards the end of the rising time, preheat your oven to 375°F.
Whisk together the @egg{1%large} and @water{1%tsp} for the topping and pour it through a sieve to remove any clumps of egg. Brush the risen loaves with the egg wash and sprinkle with @poppy or sesame seeds{}.
Bake the loaves for 25 to ~{30%minutes}, or until theyre a rich golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Their interior temperature should register about 210°F using a digital thermometer.
Remove the loaves from the oven, and place them on a rack to cool.
Store cooled bread, well wrapped, at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage.

## :pencil: Instructions
### Step 1
Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Place the egg yolks,
eggs, vegetable oil, cold water, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast into a large bowl (or the
bowl of your stand mixer) in the order in which theyre listed. Mix just until the dough comes together to form a
shaggy mass; using your mixer equipped with the dough hook, this will take about 3 minutes on low speed.
### Step 2
Knead the dough, by hand or mixer, until its smooth and well-developed; this will take 5 to 6 minutes at medium speed
using your mixer.
### Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a reusable cover and allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 1 hour.
Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour, or until its thoroughly chilled.
### Step 4
Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and transfer it to a lightly greased work surface. To make two large loaves,
divide the dough in half; each half will weigh about 824 g.
!!! tip
To make three medium-sized three-strand braids divide the initial batch of dough into three pieces, each about
549 g. Working with one piece at a time, divide it into three pieces, each about 183g. Pre-shape the pieces and
let them rest as directed above, then roll each piece into a 16”-long strand. Braid the three strands. Repeat
with the other two loaves. Finish as directed, baking the loaves for 20 to 25 minutes.
### Step 5
Working with one piece of dough at a time, divide it into three, four, or six pieces (to make a standard braid, a
four-strand braid, or a six-strand braid). To make the six-strand braid pictured above, divide into six pieces, each
about 137 g. Preshape each piece into a rough log; youre going to be rolling them into long strands. Cover the logs.
Repeat with the remaining piece of dough, dividing it into six pieces (or however many you need for the braid you want
to make).
### Step 6
Let the covered logs relax for about 20 minutes.
### Step 7
Uncover the logs. Working with the dough for one loaf, roll each log into a strand about 20" long. Make a six-strand
braid; for help with this technique, check out our video, How to braid a six-strand loaf.
### Step 8
Repeat to make the second loaf.
### Step 9
Place each loaf on a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Cover the loaves and let them rise at room
temperature until theyre almost doubled in size, about 1.5 to 2 hours.
### Step 10
Towards the end of the rising time, preheat your oven to 375°F.
### Step 11
Whisk together the egg and water for the topping and pour it through a sieve to remove any clumps of egg. Brush the
risen loaves with the egg wash and sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds.
### Step 12
Bake the loaves for 25 to 30 minutes, or until theyre a rich golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Their interior temperature should register about 210°F using a digital thermometer.
!!! tip
The baking time listed above yields loaves that are a deep mahogany brown. If you prefer your bread a bit lighter
in color, tent the loaves lightly with a sheet of aluminum foil for the final 5 to 10 minutes of baking.
### Step 13
Remove the loaves from the oven, and place them on a rack to cool.
### Step 14
Store cooled bread, well wrapped, at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage.
