Time 45m

Yield 1 loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast (recommend Fleischmann's)
3/4 cup warm water
1 cup 2% milk, warm
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 -4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg white
2 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt or 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon minced onion, dried (not fresh)
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1 teaspoon caraway seed
1 teaspoon poppy seed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, butter, sugar, egg yolk, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough into thirds. Shape each into a 20-in. rope. Place ropes on a large greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Combine egg white and water; brush over dough. Combine the salt, onion and seeds; sprinkle over bread. Bake at 375° for 22-28 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
