Step 1

In a large bowl dissolve yeast in water. Stir in the yolks 3 eggs oil sugar and salt. Add about 3-1/2 cups of flour to make a sticky dough.

Step 2

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead with remaining flour until smooth and elastic about 7 minutes. Place in a well oiled bowl and turn to oil the entire surface of the dough. Cover with a damp cloth. Place in a warm place until double in size about 1-1/2 hours.

Step 3

Punch down the dough and divide into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 12 inches long. Braid the three strands together and seal the ends. Place the bread on a greased cookie sheet. Beat the remaining 1 egg with a pinch of salt; brush onto bread. Let the bread rise until doubled about 45 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush the bread with eggwash again.

Step 5

Bake for 40 minutes or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
