1 egg white

¼ cup warm milk

Directions
-
Place flour into a bowl, creating a small hole in the center. Sprinkle salt around the edge and place yeast and sugar into the hole.

Mix egg and egg white together in a 2-cup measuring cup. Add enough water to reach the 1 1/4-cup mark. Stir in milk. Add melted butter. Pour into the center of the flour. Mix thoroughly, adding more milk or flour as needed until dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let rise for 30 minutes.

Cut dough in half. Form each half into a long roll. Lay rolls out in front of you on a work surface in an X shape. Braid bread by constantly switching ends. Place bread onto a baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 15 minutes.
