Steps

1hr

1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the centre and pour in the warm liquid and oil/butter.
2

Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 8–10 minutes by hand or 5 mins by mixer
3

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for half an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
4

Deflate the dough and divide it into three equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long "sausage" shape, about 30–40cm long.
5

Pinch the three strands together at one end. Cross the right strand over the middle, then the left strand over the middle, repeating until you reach the end.
6

Pinch the bottom ends together and tuck both ends underneath the loaf for a tidy finish.
7

Place the loaf on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and let it prove for another 30–45 minutes.
8

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Brush the top of the loaf with egg wash for a shiny, golden crust. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and the base sounds hollow when tapped.

Then enjoy
