Easy, homemade Braided Egg Bread recipe
Light, golden and easy, this braided bread is made with eggs, milk and butter to give it a rich colour and flavour, as well as a delicate crumb. Enjoy this egg bread recipe with your favourite sweet or savoury spreads, or serve it alongside meals.
Use Bread Flour in this recipe as it contains a higher percentage of the protein gluten which is ideal for making breads. This is readily available in the supermarket baking aisle. Alternatively, use plain flour.
The Dough can be made a day ahead too. Follow recipe up to step 5. Refrigerate overnight. Bring to room temperature and continue from step 6.
Flour moisture levels can vary, if dough is too dry, add a tablespoon at a time of water or milk until it reaches the correct consistency. If too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour and knead until dough firms up.
