Oh boy, more bread! I have never made a plaited loaf before so I was ready for the challenge. And the excuse to just make more bread. This recipe is is Paul’s and I found myself wondering if braiding the bread was going to be a chocolate roulade situation or just the show overdramatizing how challenging this would be.
First I gathered the ingredients:
500g bread flour
7g yeast
10g salt
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
340ml water
1 egg (for egg wash)
