It uses a total of 5 eggs.
This is a completely milk free recipe. It uses oil rather than butter.
The recipe noted that this may be a bit much for a standard kitchen aid mixer so I kneaded it by hand. It did make a sizable lump of dough. I'd say over 5 lb.
I attempted a 6 stranded braid (the 6 means something in Judaism) but it was kind of more trouble than it was worth. This recipe had 2 egg washes for extra lovely crust.
They came out pretty well but the bottom of the smaller one really wanted to burn and the larger one stuck a little and ripped. Should have used parchment paper.
Even prettier than the zopf! Definately a different flavor of bread. Kind of almost sour creamish. I plan on making some nice french toast out of part of it.
