I grew up making this bread and it is still one of my favorites. It is super fun to braid.
In bowl combine: 2 cups of flour, yeast, sugar, milk, and salt and stir. Add water and oil and beat for 2 minutes. Add remaining flour (4 cups) and knead until smooth and elastic.
Let it rise in lukewarm place for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough in half; and then divide each half into 3 portions. Roll each portion into a long rope and place on a greased baking sheet.
Braid the three pieces together and repeat with the other 3 portions. Let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Beat the egg white and water and brush onto each loaf.
Bake at 375 degrees (F) for 25-30 minutes or golden brown .

Thanks! I tried adding a little flour as I kneeded but it still stayed pretty sticky so I just kinda gave up cause I didn’t want to add too much haha The bread itself came out delicious, just was really really sticky. Oh well! I’ll try it again and hopefully have an easier time! Thanks for your help!

If the dough was sticky while kneading it slowly add more flour. You don’t want to add to much though. Also, when rolling it out into strips make sure that there is a little bit of flour on the counter to make it easier to handle. Hope that helps.

I made this last night and it came out delicious…I did have a problem with the dough being waaaaaay too sticky though…any idea what I did wrong? The end product came out fine, but getting there was really tough. Any help would be appreciated!
