Steps:
- In a large pot over medium low heat add the butter, the sugar and the milk. Cook for a few minutes, until the butter is melted. Add the zests, remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Add the orange juice.
- In a glass measuring cup, mix the warm water, the sugar and the yeast. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, until it bubbles and the yeast is activated.
- Beat the three eggs and add them to the reserved butter/milk mixture.
- Sift the flour, mahlepi and mastic and place in the bowl of a stand mixer. To the dry ingredients, add the reserved butter/milk mixture and the yeast mixture. Mix to form a soft and pliable dough, adjusting the flour as necessary. Rub the surface with the oil and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise for two hours.
- Punch the dough down and divide it into four equal portions. Divide each portion into three balls. Cover the rest and work with three balls at a time: Roll each ball into a 10"-12" long log. Pinch the top ends of the logs together and then braid the logs. When you get to the end, pinch the bottom ends together. Tuck the top and bottom ends underneath the dough. Place braided loaf on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat steps with the remaining dough. Let the bread rise at room temperature for half an hour.
- Pre-heat oven to 350° F. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining egg and milk. Brush the tops of the loaves with the egg/milk mixture and sprinkle with sesame seeds or sliced almonds. Bake (in batches) for 20-25 minutes. Allow the bread to cool completely before serving.

CARAMEL BRAID (SWEET BREAD)
My Mom has made this around Christmas time as long as I can remember. It just tastes heavenly! It tastes even better warmed up. It is a little labor intensive and time consuming, but well worth it! Definitely a weekend recipe.

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in warm water. Sprinkle in sugar and stir. Let sit for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat milk, butter, sugar, and salt in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Milk mixture should be luke warm, not hot. Let it cool down if its too hot.
- Pour 1 C of the flour into a mixing bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the flour and stir.
- Add another cup of flour and stir. Add eggs and stir, then yeast and stir.
- Gradually add the rest of the flour, kneading the dough inside the bowl. Add more flour depending on the consistency, so its not sticky and dough pulls away from the bowl.

- Roll it out into a 12 x 18 rectangle.

- Spread filling evenly over dough with the back of a spoon. Roll each strip into a roll, overlapping the edges and pinching them shut.
- Place on a greased jelly roll pan. Gently braid, tucking the ends underneath. Try to braid quickly so the dough doesn't stretch.
- Cover with a towel and let rise for a half hour in a warm palce.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 to 30 minute Bread should be browned and sound hollow when patted. Let cool on a rack. Take it off the pan with a spatula on each side so it doesn't fall apart.
- While the bread is cooling, make the glaze. Heat butter over medium heat until lightly brown, remove from heat.
- Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Stir in milk, one tsp at a time.
- Place bread on foil or board when cool. Drizzle bread with warm glaze. Let glaze harden before wrapping foil around bread if giving as a gift.
