Comment préparer Abby's French Bread Braids

In a large bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast. Mix well.
In a small saucepan, heat 2 cups of warm water (105-115°F) and 1/4 cup shortening until the shortening is melted and the mixture is very warm.
Add the warm water mixture to the flour mixture. Using a mixer, blend on low speed until moistened, then increase to medium speed and beat for 3 minutes.
Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add 1 1/2 to 2 1/4 cups remaining flour until a stiff dough forms.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding 1/4 to 1/2 cup additional flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes).
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to coat. Cover loosely with greased plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel.
Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 45-60 minutes).
Grease a large baking sheet.
Punch down the dough several times to remove air bubbles.
Divide the dough in half, then divide each half into 3 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a 14-inch rope.
Braid the 3 ropes together, sealing the ends.
Place the braids on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat steps 10-13 with the remaining dough.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of water and 1 egg white.
Carefully brush the egg white mixture over the loaves.
Cover the loaves loosely and let rise in a warm place until light and almost doubled (20-30 minutes).
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Uncover the loaves and brush again with the egg white mixture.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
