Steps:
- Combine the water, sugar and yeast and stir to combine.
- Let sit for 10-15 minutes until nice and bubbly.
- Warm the butter and milk together until the butter is melted. Let cool to warm.
- Pour the proofed yeast in the bowl of your stand mixer followed by the flour, the milk mixture, the eggs, sugar, spices and salt.
- Fit your mixer with the paddle attachment and bring the dough together on low speed. Increase speed to medium and knead for about 10 minutes. The dough will be soft and will clear the sides of the bowl to only about halfway down. That's okay.
- When the dough is ready, it will be shiny, smooth, soft, and stretchy.
- Spray the top with pan spray, cover with a lint-free towel, and let rise in a cozy place until doubled. This could take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on whether you use more or less sugar and/or more or less yeast. See Notes.
- Once the dough has doubled, scrape it out onto a clean, smooth work surface, and gently press out the gases.
- Weigh your dough and divide by 9. If you don't have a scale, I implore you to get one. If you don't want to be so exact, divide the dough into thirds and then divide each third into three pieces.
- Press each of three pieces of dough into a rectangle and then roll up into a tight sausage. Roll out each into a rope about 12" long. Pinch the three ropes together at one end and braid fairly tightly. Pinch the dough together when you reach the other end. Tuck each end under the braid for a nice, polished presentation.
- Form two more braids in the same way.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking tray about 2-3 inches apart. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise i a cozy place until puffy, about 45 minutes.
- While the dough is rising, set a rack in the center of your oven. If you have one, place a baking stone on the rack. Otherwise, don't worry about it.
- Heat the oven to 350F.
- Whisk together the egg white and water.
- Gently brush a thin layer evenly onto each braid. Sprinkle sesame seeds on each braid.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes until lightly golden brown. The internal temperature of the bread should be 200F.
- Remove to a rack to cool completely. Rewarm to serve or serve at room temperature. Butter and jam would not be unwelcome.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Add the warm water and 2 teaspoons of sugar to a small bowl and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Scatter the yeast over the water and leave for about 10 minutes, until the yeast is frothy.
- Add the butter, margarine, and milk to a pan over a medium heat and heat until melted. Do not let it boil.
- Add 1 cup of sugar and stir in until dissolved. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
- Crack 3 of the eggs into a large bowl, and lightly whisk. Add the cooled milk mixture a little at a time, beating constantly.
- Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until just combined.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, mahleb, and salt
- Make a dip in the center of the flour and pour in the egg mixture. Incorporate the flour a little at a time, stirring until all the flour is incorporated and you have a sticky dough.
- Dust a work surface with flour. Knead the dough, incorporating the flour until you have a less sticky dough, then continue to knead for a further 10 minutes.
- Lightly oil a bowl. Place the dough inside, cover, and leave in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
- When the dough has risen, knock it a few times to punch the air out, then cover and leave to rise until doubled in size again, about 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal balls, then divide each of those balls again into 3. Roll each portion into a rope about 12 inches long.
- Take 3 strands at a time and braid them together, pinching the ends and tucking them under to seal, so that you have 4 braids.
- Lay the loaves onto lined baking trays, with about 4 inches between each braid. Leave to rise once more until your finger leaves an indentation when you lightly press the dough.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Brush the braids with the beaten egg, before sprinkling the sesame seeds over the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown.
