Step 1
In a large bowl, dissolve the 1 packet yeast in 0.5 cup warm water and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add 2 cups flour, 1 egg, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3
Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Shape into a log and cut into 3 equal pieces.
Step 4
Roll each piece into a 12 inch rope. Braid the ropes together, pinching the ends to seal.
Step 5
Place on a baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and bake at 375°F until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
