Instructions

  1. 1 Combine milk, butter, and margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until butter and margarine are melted, but do not let it boil. Stir in 1 cup of sugar until dissolved, then set aside to cool to lukewarm.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, dissolve 2 teaspoons of sugar in warm water in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the surface, and let stand until frothy, about 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Crack eggs into a large bowl, and stir a little to break up the yolks. Slowly pour in heated milk mixture while whisking constantly, so as to temper the eggs and not cook them. Add yeast mixture, and stir just until blended.
  4. 4 Combine flour, baking powder, mahleb, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center, and pour in egg mixture. Stir until it forms a sticky dough. Pour onto a floured surface, and knead in additional flour as needed to make a more substantial dough. Knead for about 10 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl, and set in a warm place to rise for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. 5 When dough has doubled, punch down again, and let rise until doubled. It will only take about half as long this time.
  6. 6 Separate dough into 5 even portions, then separate each of those into thirds. Roll each of those into ropes about 12 inches long. Braid sets of three ropes together, pinching the ends to seal, and tucking them under for a better presentation. Place loaves onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Loaves should be spaced 4 inches apart. Set in a warm place to rise until your finger leaves an impression behind when you poke the loaf gently.
  7. 7 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Brush loaves with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until nicely golden brown all over, about 25 minutes.

Gradually mix in flour, 1 cup at a time, up to 12 cups, until dough becomes slightly tacky but not wet. Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Grease baking sheets, or line them with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. 3 Cut dough into four equal-sized pieces (or 2 pieces to make 2 large loaves). Cut each piece into thirds for 3-strand braided loaves. Working on a floured surface, roll small dough pieces into ropes about the thickness of your thumb and about 12 inches long. Ropes should be fatter in the middle and thinner at the ends. Pinch 3 ropes together at the top and braid them. Starting with the strand to the right, move it to the left over the middle strand (that strand becomes the new middle strand.) Take the strand farthest to the left, and move it over the new middle strand. Continue braiding, alternating sides each time, until loaf is braided; pinch ends together and fold them underneath for a neat look. Repeat for remaining loaves.

  2. 2 Bake the meatballs for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Once the meatballs are in the oven, start making the sauce straight away.
  3. 3 Melt the margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining onions, and cook until browned. Stir in the ketchup, beef stock, steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, instant coffee, brown sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are done.
  4. 4 Remove the meatballs from the oven, and drain any excess grease. Pour the sauce over them, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 30 minutes.
  5. 5 These meatballs taste even better after they have been left to rest for a while to soak up the sauce. I usually make the recipe at lunchtime and let it cool. I put it back in the oven at about 200 degrees for approximately 15 minutes to reheat for dinner. This is not necessary but it makes it taste even better!
