Directions
Start to add in the flour a cup at a
time , starting with the whole wheat flour. When the mixture becomes to
hard to mix in the bowl, pour out onto a floured flat surface. Add more
flour on top and begin to knead.
Continue to add more flour as needed and
knead for about 10 to 15 minutes. The dough will become smooth and
elastic. Add a little oil to a bowl and place the kneaded dough into the
bowl. Turn the dough over a few time to lightly coat all sides of the
dough. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit till double in size (
about 1 hour ).
After the dough has risen pour out onto a flat surface. Cut the dough into half. Take one piece and cut into 3 pieces.
Roll out into a long rope about 15 inches in length. Place the tips together and seal. Now braid the three pieces together.
Do the same with the other half of the
dough. Place onto a parchment lined cookiesheet and cover with plastic
wrap. Allow to rest till double in size ( about 1 hour ). After the
dough has risen you want to make the topping. Take the egg white and
place into a bowl. Beat with a whisk till the egg white become a foam.
Brush onto the 2 braided loaves.
Sprinkle the top with mixed seeds. Place
into a preheated 350F or 180C oven and bake for 30 - 35 minutes. The
bottom of the loaves will sound hollow when tapped. Remove from oven and
place onto a wire rack to cool.
