MMMMM--------------------------GARNISH-------------------------------
     1 lg Egg; lightly beaten
   1/2 c  Sliced almonds

 In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugar,
 eggs, butter, orange zest, salt, mahleb, and mastic if desired and
 3 cups flour; beat until smooth.  Stir in enough remaining flour to
 form a soft dough.

 Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8
 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top.
 Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

 Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide dough
 into six portions. Shape each into a 12" rope. Place three ropes on
 a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck
 under. Repeat with remaining ropes. Tuck three hard-cooked eggs
 into the braid of each loaf. Cover and let rise until doubled,
 about 45 minutes.

 Brush with egg; sprinkle with almonds. Bake @ 350 F/175 C for 25-30
 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
