Golden Sesame Braids

Ingredients:
- 2 packages (1/4th ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup of warm water
- 1 and 1/2 cup of warm milk
- 1/4 cup of shortening
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 tbs. salt

Place three ropes on a greased baking pan and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
4. Beat egg and cold water; brush over braids. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 350 F. for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
