This is a rich and tasty bread to take to church for a Memorial
Service. The bread symbolizes the bread of life. It is traditionally
round - a symbol of eternity. It may also be braided or decorated in
some fashion.
In small bowl, dissolve sugar in water. Sprinkle in yeast; let stand
for 10 minutes or until frothy. In large bowl, stir 3 cups flour with
salt. With wooden spoon, stir in yeast mixture, honey, eggs, egg
yolks and butter. Turn out onto floured surface; knead for 10 minutes
or until smooth and elastic, dusting with enough of the remaining
flour to prevent sticking.
Place dough in large greased bowl, turning to grease all over. Cover
with plastic wrap; let rise in warm draft free place until doubled in
bulk and indentation remains when dough is poked with 2 fingers,
about 1 hour. Punch down dough; knead in raisins. Let rest for 10 minutes.
To make braid, divide dough into three and roll out into three long
ropes. Place on greased baking sheet and braid. Start braiding from
the center to the end and then braid the other side. Tuck ends under
braid. Cover braid loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm draft
free place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
To make crown: Roll into 30" long rope. Holding 1 end in place, wind
remaining rope around end to form fairly tight spiral that is
slightly higher in center. Transfer to lightly greased baking sheet.
TOPPING: Stir egg yolk with 1 teaspoons water; brush over loaf.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in 350F oven for 35-45 minutes or
until golden brown and loaf sounds hollow when tapped on bottom. Let
cool on rack.
