In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together 1 cup of warm water and the sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let proof for 5 minutes. In the bowl of your stand mixer, use a wooden spoon to stir together the flour, sugar and salt. Attach the dough hook. In a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk together the eggs, oil, water, and honey. Add the yeast mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir to combine. Use the dough hook and knead on low speed. Make sure all the flour is picked up from the bottom of the bowl. The dough is quite wet, if needed, add flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Knead for 7-10 minutes, or until the dough is soft and pliable and passes the window pane test. Divide the dough into two equal pieces, tucking into balls. Set into lightly oiled large bowls and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Rise overnight in the fridge, or at room temp until doubled, about 2 to 2.5 hours. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F. Working with one ball of dough at a time, divide into 3 for a 3 strand braid or 6, for a 6 strand braid. Roll out the dough into ropes/logs, about 1 foot long. For a 3 strand braid: Don’t pinch the tops of the logs together, just start braiding. When you reach the end, pinch the ends together, then flip your loaf over and upside down so that the top is now at the bottom. Braid and then pinch, tucking in both ends. For a 6 strand braid: Pinch the tops of the six logs together. You want to take the outermost log, bring it over two strands, tuck it under one, and bring it over the last two. You want to repeat the pattern, taking the outermost log, going over two strands, under one, over two. Repeat until the entire loaf is braided. Pinch the ends and tuck under.

A couple months after Mike and I got married, Mike’s mom gave us a giant tub of marinated chicken. I was ecstatic! See, one night, at Mike’s parents’ place, we had some amazing grilled chicken. I was obsessed. It was sweet, savory, garlic-y, sticky, charred deliciousness. I wanted to learn how to make it myself so I asked her for the recipe. So, as moms do, she told me it was fish sauce, garlic, shallots, and sugar. I asked how much of everything and got: oh, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, until you feel like it tastes right. I tried to recreate it, many times, but to no avail. Finally she took pity on me and made me a huge tub of marinated raw chicken thighs. I happily grilled it and Mike and I feasted for 6 meals straight with fluffy white rice and crunchy fresh cucumbers. After days of chicken, I wasn’t tired of it, it was that good. After we ran out we ate other things, but I still dreamed of that chicken. So, when Mike’s mom gave us another tub of chicken telling us it was the same chicken, a month or so later, I was in heaven. In a slightly suspicious heaven though because the chicken didn’t look like my chicken, the chicken I had come to know and love. It had some other things in it?! Other things that were delicious, sure, but the thing is, it didn’t have that smack you in the face flavor of the first chicken. I was happy on the outside because I’m not the type of person to turn down a food gift, but on the inside I was crying because the chicken I knew and loved was over, forever.
