All of the ingredients are mixed together for one minute. |
The dough looks darker because whole wheat flour is used. |
After allowing the dough to rise, work can start on making a braided loaf. To braid a loaf you need to use three strips of dough that are about 22 to 24 inches long. |
The finished result after braiding the three strips of dough. |
The braided loaf is allowed to rise for two hours. I made a circular braided loaf using a spring form pan. |
Before baking, the loaves are basted with a beaten egg wash followed by a generous sprinkling of sesame seeds. |
This loaf is now ready for the egg wash and sesame seeds. |
Just out of the oven. |
Ready for sampling!! |
It looks beautiful! I love the braid. I imagine it is as yummy as it looks!
