Instructions
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Stir in the yolks, 3 eggs, oil, sugar, and salt.
Add about 3-1/2 cups of flour to make a sticky dough.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead with remaining flour until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes.
Place in a well oiled bowl, and turn to oil the entire surface of the dough. Cover with a damp cloth.
Place in a warm place until double in size, about 1-1/2 hours.
Punch down the dough, and divide into 3 pieces.
Roll each piece into a rope about 12 inches long. Braid the three strands together, and seal the ends.
Place the bread on a greased cookie sheet. Beat the remaining 1 egg with a pinch of salt; brush onto bread.
Let the bread rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Brush the bread with eggwash again.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
