2 pkgs (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110-115)
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp cold water
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the butter, sugar, salt, eggs and 3 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Beginning from the right side, braid dough by placing the first rope over the second rope, under the third and over the fourth. Repeat three or four times, beginning each time from right side. Pinch ends to seal and tuck under.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Beat egg yolk and water' brush over braid. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheet to a wire rack to cool.
