Mix the yeast and 1 tsp sugar with the warm (110 degree) water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it is foamy.

Mix flour, salt, and 2 tbsp sugar in a large bowl.

Combine 1/4 cup warm water, honey, oil and eggs in another bowl.

Once the yeast is foamy, slowly add it to the flour mixture and then pour in the wet ingredients. Mix the dough with a wooden spoon.

Knead the dough on a well floured surface until no longer sticky and the dough is smooth. May take about 10 minutes and a significant amount of flour on the surface and your hands.

Grease a bowl and coat your dough with oil and cover with a towel to rise for 2 hours or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 375 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In another small bowl, whisk the eggs and water.

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and water. Set aside.

Once doubled, divide the dough into three equal parts and roll each into a 12 inch log. Flatten each log to about 3 inches wide.

Brush each log with cinnamon and brown sugar mixture. Roll each of them lengthwise like a jelly roll. Braid the three pieces together and tuck the bottom under to seal. Place on your prepared sheet pan.

Brush the egg wash over the loaf generously.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
