    Punch out the gas. Sprinkle some flour and knead again, then divide the dough into 3 pieces.

If not, roll out each dough into a string. Pinch one end of the 3 strings together. Then braid them using your preferred pattern.

  5. 5

    Transfer into a pan or tray and cover for another 30mins. Then brush with egg wash (1 egg and 1 tbsp milk). Bake in a preheated oven.

    When it's done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool a little. Slice it to your desire and serve.
