   place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover w/ tea towel and let sit in a warm area to rise; about 1 hour (should be doubled in size)




5. 

   gently deflate dough and divide into 3 equal pieces. roll these into long cylinders, and braid tightly. tuck the ends under for a more uniform and professional appearance

6. 

   once braided, cover again and let rise again until doubled in size - about 40 minutes

7. 

   place on a baking sheet lined w/ a silicone mat or parchment paper. preheat oven to 425 F. in the meantime, prepare egg wash by combining the egg white w/ a splash of milk (*note - i used soy milk in substitution of all milk in this recipe and it came out great)

8. 

   brush the loaf liberally with the egg wash. bake for about 20 min or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the side.
