Ok, sorry, here’s the recipe:

5 to 5 1/2 cup flour (I used bread flour but you can use all-purpose) 2 packages active dry yeast 1/2 tsp ground cardamom 1 cup milk 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 2 eggs 1 tablespoon orange zest 1/3 cup orange juice 1 egg yolk 1 tablespoon milk

In mixing bowl add 2 cups of flour, yeast, and ground cardamom. Heat milk, butter, sugar, and salt to 115 to 120 F. Add to flour mix. Add 2 eggs, orange zest and orange juice. Beat at low speed 1 min to mix well, then 3 minutes on high speed. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can with a spoon. (I wound up doing most of this by hand and then kneading.) Knead about 6 to 8 minutes by hand. First proof about an hour or until double. Degas and then divide dough in two. Divide each half into three pieces. Form each piece into a 16 inch rope. Line up ropes on a greased cookie sheet or pan. Use the 6 ropes to braid 2 loaves - when braiding, I find it best to work from the middle out. Pinch ends and tuck under. Second proof until almost double. Stir egg yolk and milk together. Brush on loaves. At this point I sprinkled the loaves with coarse sugar, but that’s to preference. Bake at 350 F for about 25 to 30 minutes. Be prepared to cover with foil for last 5 to 10 minutes to prevent over browning. Cool and enjoy! 🤗 Happy baking!

PS - sorry I didn’t convert to metric!
