This Egg Twist Bread is a beautiful and impressive loaf of bread to serve to guests. An egg wash gives the top of this soft bread a nice golden look.
For as much as we love baking bread, I had never tried a braided bread loaf. I’ve seen pictures of them on Pinterest and in cooking magazines and was always just a little bit scared off. I figured there was no way I could get a loaf of bread to look that good.
But I sooooo wanted to taste one of these loaves, so my tummy won out!
My grandma was cleaning out her old books and gave me a huge stack of old church cookbooks. I don’t know if you’ve ever looked through an old church cookbook, but they contain quite the collection of recipes. I felt like I had hit the jackpot!
This Egg Twist Bread was one of the first recipes I came across that I knew I had to try. It’s soft. It’s slightly sweet. It tastes amazing when torn into directly from the oven. Nope. We don’t have much patience around here when it comes to fresh bread!
Don’t let the fact that this is a braided loaf scare you off. You can make this. And you’ll be so glad you did.
