4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup warm milk
2 eggs
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten

In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, warm milk, and eggs.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1 hour.
Divide the dough into two equal portions and form each into a long, thin braid.
Place the braids on a greased baking sheet and let rise for 30 minutes.
Brush the braid with the beaten egg yolk and bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.
Remove the bread from the oven and let cool before serving.
