1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. 2. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. 3. Add the egg yolk, butter and 2 cups of bread flour; stirring well to combine. 4. Next, stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. 5. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, for 7 - 8 minutes. 6. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces and roll each piece into a 14 inch long cylinder. 7. Braid the pieces together and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. 8. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. 9. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 10. Lastly In a small bowl, beat together the egg white and water. 11. Brush the risen loaf with the egg wash and bake for 20 to 25, until golden. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
