Mix together 2 1/2 cups flour with sugar, salt yeast (no need to dissolve first), water and oil. Mix in 4 eggs. Beat in 1 1/2 cups flour very well.

Let rise 1-2 hours, or refrigerate overnight and then let warm to room temperature for 1-2 hours. Make balls, roll them into ropes and braid. Let rise covered for 1/2 – 1 hour.
