Ingredients

500 g wheat flour
10 g dry organic yeast
200 ml warm milk
2 pieces eggs
4 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence (optional)
1 egg yolk egg yolk
q.s. granulated sugar for sprinkling to taste

Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Wooden spoon or spatula
Kitchen scale or measuring cups/spoons
Clean work surface for kneading
Damp kitchen towel

Method

In a small bowl, mix dry yeast with sugar and pour in warm milk; stir until dissolved and let sit for 10 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt; make a well and add eggs, oil, and yeast mixture.
Mix with a wooden spoon until no dry flour remains.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough, divide it into three parts, and roll each into a rope about 16-18 inches long.
Braid the ropes together and place on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray.
Cover and let proof for 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Beat egg yolk with water and brush over the braided dough, then sprinkle generously with granulated sugar.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown; tap bottom to check for hollowness.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the tray and then transfer to a wire rack for 20-30 minutes before slicing.
