Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients in the mixer and mix for about 3 to 5 minutes until it comes together.

Add a little oil to the dough, mix it around, and leave it in the same bowl or transfer to a different bowl.

Cover the dough and place it in a warm place to proof for about 1 to 2 hours.

After proofing, release the air from the dough and cut it into three equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a long shape about 18 inches long.

Braid the three pieces together to form a plait.

Place the braided dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cover the dough and let it rise for about 40 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake the bread in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Once baked, brush the top with melted butter and transfer to a wire rack to cool before cutting.
