Yield: 1 Servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 teaspoon | Cardamom; crushed;(1 to 1 1/2) |
| 2 tablespoons | Crisco |
| 2 tablespoons | Margarine; melted |
| 1 tablespoon | Salt |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| ½ gallon | Milk; heat until just warm |
| 2 packs | Dry yeast; dissolved in |
| 1 cup | Water |
| 8 pounds | Flour; Approximately |
Put all ingredients in large bowl, gradually adding flour, mixing until ready to knead. Knead 10 minutes and shape into a ball. Put into a greased bowl, let rise until doubled. Punch down and let rise again.
Then divide into 3 balls, roll out into long strands and braid. Put onto greased pans, brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with sugar. Let rise again.
Bake at 325 degree oven approximately ½ hour. Check for doneness. Be careful, because even though the top may be dark the inside may not be done. If the bottom is brown, then the bread should be done.
