Ingredients

- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon canola oil

- 2 large eggs

- 1 tablespoon salt
- 5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds

- Shape each into a rope about 15 in. long. Place three ropes on a greased baking sheet; braid. Pinch each end firmly and tuck under.
- Repeat, placing second braid on the same baking sheet. Brush braids with the reserved egg mixture; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 350 ° for 20-25 minutes. Remove from baking sheet to cool on a wire rack.
