Instructions

Have liquid ingredients at 80ºF and all others at room temperature. Place ingredients in pan in the order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough cycle. Check dough consistency after 5 minutes of kneading. The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball. If it is dry and stiff, add water, 1/2 to 1 tablespoon at a time. If it is too wet and sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time. When cycle is complete, continue with next step.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; punch down to remove air bubbles. Divide dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 16-inch rope; line up ropes one inch apart on a greased cookie sheet. Braid loosely; pinch ends together and tuck under. Cover; let rise until indentation remains when lightly touched with finger.
Preheat oven to 375ºF ,
Brush risen dough with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
