About

Old-world braided breads seem like a lifetime away for most of us. But if you can braid three strings you can braid bread dough. Best of all, nobody expects neatness—they’ll just be blown away that you produced BRAIDED BREAD!

This recipe involves a slow rise, which helps both the flavour of the bread and its ability to keep.

Leftovers can be sliced and toasted, and topped with peanut butter or chocolate hazelnut spread.
