Adding Eggs for Making Braided Bread

Video Transcript

"Hi. My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'm going to show you how to make a braided wreath of bread. Okay, so it's been about 3 or 4 minutes. So now what we're going to do is we're going to, in our bowl here, we're going to add, well we're going to turn our mixer back on here and we're going to add the rest of our sugar. And we're going to let it go until we stop hearing that grinding sound? The grinding sound is the sugar granules in there. You can see how, if you can listen closely you can hear the grinding sound go away. And also, as you make this yourself, naturally you'll hear that sound go away. Next thing we're going to add is our oil. Now we want to add our oil kind of slowly in a thin stream. And obviously it's not going to mix completely because you're mixing oil and water for all practical purposes. And they're going to separate. But if you dump it all in there at once it just kind of glops around and sits on top. So just go ahead and dump all of that in there. And I turn the speed up usually here just to try to get it to emulsify a little bit. But don't expect it to completely mix together. Let this go for a few minutes. And now we're going to add in our salt. A little bit at a time. Really gradually. Because if you put all the salt in it at once what will happen is you'll shock your yeast and kill it. So we're just adding that salt in just a tiny bit at a time. And you'll hear that grinding sound start up again. That's the salt granules grinding between the whisk and the bottom of the bowl. So don't worry, it's nothing wrong. And I'm going to let this mix for about a minute or so and we'll be right back to go to the next step."
