Method: In a large bowl add 2 cups flour and sea salt mix together. Then in a small bowl add warm water, yeast and sugar, let rise for 5 minutes. Mix your egg in a small bowl and in another bowl warm butter, mix together then pour both in with the dry ingredients. After yeast have risen pour in with the other ingredients, then start mixing everything together with a spoon or mixer with hook. When dough becomes hard to mix with spoon, use your hand adding in the extra 1 cup and knead it by pulling the dough towards and pushing downwards, if you need more warm water or flour to bring it all together thats ok. Form into a ball and cover, place in warm place to rise for 30 minutes. After risen DON’T DEFLATE dough, then cut into 18 to 21 small pieces around 1½ to 2 inches thick, then roll them by pulling the dough on a floured countertop and rolling the dough into a thin long piece of dough around 8” long and ½ inch thick. Do this three times for braiding the three pieces together, first pinch the three pieces of dough together at one end. Then fold each piece over one at a time, forming a braid. Then continue the same method for all dough remaining. Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, place all the bread braids on the pan, then melt garlic butter and glazing all braids, this is optional. Then cover with a piece of parchment paper and towel let rise for 20 minutes in a warm place. Pre-heat oven to 350ºF then bake for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on your oven. Then remove from oven take out of pan and place on a cooling rack or serve hot, brush with butter. Bonita’s Baking Tips: After bread braids are cooled put in freezer bag and freeze, if you wish to keep them fresh for longer. If you don’t like garlic butter, use cheese or melted plain butter to glaze.
