Bread Machine Directions

Add dough ingredients to bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough/manual cycle. When cycle is complete, remove dough to floured surface. If necessary, knead in additional flour to make dough easy to handle.

Divide dough into 3 equal pieces; roll each to 15-inch rope. Braid 3 ropes together, pinching ends to seal. Place on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. In small bowl, combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over loaf. Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until done.
