Directions:
1. Combine flour and yeast and wheat gluten in a bowl and set aside.

2. Add water, egg yolk, oil, sugar, and salt to mixer and mix to combine.

3. Add the flour-yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms. The dough should be firm and smooth but not sticky. Scrap out onto a surface and knead for 5-10 minutes. The dough should spring back when pressed lightly, or it should pass the windowpane test.

4. Place in lightly greased bowl and let rise until doubled. About 1-2 hours

5. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Then dived each piece into 3 equal pieces. Roll each of the 3 pieces into long snakes and braid. Place on a parchment lined sheet pan.

6. Brush with egg wash then let sit for about 1 hour. Until the dough springs back halfway slowly to the tough but does not collapse.

7. Brush with more egg wash and bake at 350 until dark golden and shine 18-22 minutes. The loaves should sound hallow when thumped on the bottom.
