Directions:
In a 1 gallon plastic ziplock bag, add the yeast, water, sugar, salt, oil and 3 cups of flour. Invert the bag a few times and place bag in a bowl of warm water for 30 mins. Remove bag and place on the counter for one hour. Add 1/4 cup of flour and invert a few times. Place bag on the counter, turning over every 20 minutes for an additional 1 1/2 hour. Remove from bag, and place on a well floured surface. Divide dough into three pieces. Roll each piece into a 12 inch cylinder. Place dough cylinders on a parchment paper lined baking pan. Braid the three dough cylinders, and tuck the ends underneath the loaf to secure them. Allow to rise for 30 minutes on the counter. Brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle heavily with sesame seeds. Bake at 300º for 40 minutes.
