Ingredients:
- 1/2 cups - milk
- 1 tablespoons - sugar
- 2 packages - yeast
- 1 1/2 cups - butter (no substitute)
- 1 cups - sugar
- 6 - eggs
- 2 cups - milk
- 1 tablespoons - salt
- 1 packages - 15 oz. light raisins
- 1 cups - slivered almonds
- 1 teaspoons - almond extract
- 1 teaspoons - lemon extract
- 12 cups - all-purpose flour or a little more or less, as needed
- 2 - eggs beaten
Directions:
Heat milk (I heated it for 30 seconds in a measuring cup in the microwave).
Add sugar and yeast to the warm milk.
In another bowl, combine butter and sugar; cream thoroughly. Add one egg at a time to butter mixture.
Add yeast mixture, milk, salt, raisins, almonds and extracts mix well.
Add enough flour to knead. Knead until elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and leave in a warm spot until dough rises to 2x its size (approx. 1-1 ½ hours).
Divide the dough into 9ths. Roll each piece into a rope 12 inches long- about the size of a baking sheet. Braid three ropes together on a greased baking sheet.
Cover & let rise again, for about 30-45 minutes.
Brush with beaten egg. Each braid should be on its own baking sheet.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
