Servings: persons

2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
1-1/2 cups warm milk (110u00b0 to 115u00b0)
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
4 eggs
7 to 8 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cold water
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

1
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, shortening, sugar, salt, 3 eggs and 4 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Divide each portion into thirds. Shape each piece into a 12-in. rope. Place three ropes on a greased baking pan; braid. Pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
4
Beat remaining egg and cold water; brush over braids. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 350u00b0 for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
