Serves: 3

Print this Recipe


   2 packages yeast active dry
   1/2 teaspoon sugar
   1/2 cup water warm (105° to 115° F.)
   3 tablespoons butter real
   1/2 cup sugar
   2 teaspoons salt
   1 teaspoon cardamon crushed (40 to 60) or 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
   1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
   2 cups milk warm (105° to 115° F.)
   3 eggs beaten
   8 cups flour
   Real butter, melted
   Milk
   Coarse sugar or chopped toasted almonds
   Almond Glaze (below)


In a small bowl dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water; let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.

In a large mixer bowl beat together butter, sugar, salt, cardamom and vanilla. Add milk, eggs and yeast mixture; beat well. Add flour gradually to make a soft dough. On a lightly floured surface knead until no longer sticky. Use as little extra flour as possible. Place in a greased bowl; turn to coat surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled. Punch down dough. Place on a lightly floured surface; let rest for 15 minutes. Divide dough into three portions. Divide each portion into three equal parts. Roll each part into a 12-inch rope. Place three ropes parallel to one another on one of three greased baking sheets. Braid ropes loosely, starting from middle and braiding to each end; pinch and tuck under ends. Repeat with remaining ropes.

Brush with butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, until doubled. Brush with milk.

Bake in a preheated 375° F. oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool braids on wire racks. Glaze and sprinkle with sugar or almonds.
