Braided Sesame Wreath

• 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk plus 2 tablespoons warm milk (110u0b0 to 115u0b0)
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add the butter, sugar, egg, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into thirds. Shape each portion into a 22-in. braid; pinch ends together to form a ring. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
4. Bake at 350u0b0 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
