Steps

2hr 30min

1

Mix flour and salt.
2

Take a little water and dissolve in yeast, add sugar and let it dissolve completely then add to flour and knead to a soft dough.
3

Knead for about 8min then rub the olive oil and cover for 1hr.
4

Roll the dough on a floured surface and cut into stripes.
5

Take a stainless steel bowl and cover it with foil then grease it with oil or margarine.
6

Take the stripes and start weaving on the bowl like a basket. Arrange the stripes like a cross, then again diagonally and take another stripe and start weaving from top to bottom. I was completely carried away and forgot to take the picture.
7

For the hand of the basket, take 3 stripes and weave them together and lay it down in semi- circular shape. The remaining dough I made some bread of choice. Place them on a baking tray and cover for 30min.
8

Egg wash and bake for 30min. It's not a walk in the park it's hectic but manageable.
9

When baked and cooled remove the basket gently from the bowl let it not break then join the hand using toothpick.

I didn't want to eat my basket though it was sweet.
