| 1. Mix 2 cups flour and yeast together in the bowl of a stand mixer. | 2. Stir milk, butter, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan; heat and stir over medium-low heat until the mixture is smooth and the temperature is between 90 degrees F (32 degrees C) to 100 degrees F (37 degrees C). | 3. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, add eggs, and beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to high and beat for 3 minutes more. Add 1 cup flour and 3 tablespoons orange juice to the mixture; mix on high for 3 minutes more. | 4. Fit the mixer with a dough hook. Add remaining flour to the mixture; beat with dough hook until the flour is completely incorporated. | 5. Grease a glass bowl. Put dough into the bowl. Let dough rise until doubled in volume, 3 to 4 hours. | 6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). | 7. Punch dough down. Divide the dough into two halves. Split each half into three even pieces, roll each piece into a cylinder, and braid into loaves. Put loaves onto a baking sheet. | 8. Bake in preheated oven until the middle is baked, 25 to 30 minutes. | 9.
