HUNGARIAN COUNTRY BREAD
This is a traditional Hungarian bread with a hard, crispy crust. It takes some time to prepare, but is very cheap and very appreciated. It won't keep for long, since the dough doesn't contain any fat, but the problem seldom arises, since it will be gone in no time. The recipe is from the Swedish magazine "Allt Om Mat".

Steps:
- In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let stand until creamy, about 15 minutes.
- Mix the egg, egg yolks, sugar, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the egg, egg yolks, sugar, salt and 3 cups of the flour; stir until well combined. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes.
- Turn out onto a floured bread board, and cut into 2 equal parts. Form into cylindrical loaves; let rest for 20 minutes. Divide each loaf in half and roll into a long rope for braiding. Fasten the 4 ends together. Braid. End by fastening the ends, and turning each end under the loaf. Place on cookie sheet, and cover with a towel until doubled in size, about 40 minutes.
- Brush risen loaf with a beaten egg and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
