After getting all of your ingredients out, pour the yeast into your water and sturr until you see it is dissolved. While waiting for it to dissolve, you can separate your eggs by mixing two together and and leaving the other one separated from its yolk.

Mix Your Ingredients Together

Pour in your flour, salt, and sugar and mix that together. after doing that, add your eggs and mix.

Pour your yeast in and start mixing, when it starts to get difficult to mix by utensil, take it out and kneed it for a minute.

Having a Machine Mix It for You

After kneading it, put it in your device that can make the dough of the bread. Check on it and see if you need to knead it yourself for a bit.

How the Dough Should Feel and Look Like

Your dough should be all mixed together and feel tacky. If sticky, add 1 tea spoon of flour and check on it if it does feel sticky after you do that. If still sticky, keep adding flour until tacky.

Wrap It Up

After making sure it is no longer sticky, but a tacky feeling, wrap the top of your bowl in a plastic wrap, this will make the dough rise. After wrapping it, put it in a warm spot of your house, this could be where the sun is shining in through the window. After finding a spot, leave it there for 2 hours so the dough could double in size.

After the Dough Has Risen

After your dough has risen, place a piece of parchment paper with flour covering it, divide and roll your dough up into 6 long pieces, this will make your braiding process much easier.

Braiding

If you have ever braided hair before, this is just that. With 1 extra roll on each piece. Before starting to braid, make sure the dough is all mushed together at the very top. After doing that, start over lapping each piece of dough in a braided style. After all of the dough is braided, put a clean kitchen towel over it and let it rise for 1 hour.

Egg Whites

When your 1 hour is complete, grab your egg whites and start brushing it on with a cooking brush. Make sure to get in all the cracks too.

Oven Time!!

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Place your dough onto a cooking tray and put it in your oven when the oven is ready and heated. Set a timer for 35 minutes.

I'm left handed so you can rearrange this however you want to. Take your chicken breast, dip it in the flour, make sure it is all coated with flour. Then dip the chicken into the eggs, make sure you can see no flour, the reason for the flour is to make sure the eggs stick. After that, dip it into your bread crumbs, again, make sure you do not see any egg, the reason for the eggs is so your bread crumbs stick. After doing all these steps, your chicken should look like picture above.

Fry It

Fry your chicken for 5-8 minutes.

Chicken Should Be Golden

Make sure your chicken is a golden color when you take it out of your fryer.

Taking Out the Bread

Once your timer is up, the bread should look somewhat like the picture above. If not, place it back in the oven for 5-8 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Piecing It Together

Cut up your bread so you have different pieces and place your chicken tender on the bottom, then put the top piece of bread on and enjoy!
