Plaiting like a Pro

One of the things that make me so in awe with bread makers is their abilities to create amazingly elaborated breads. To me, unlike cakes, breads are not as easy to decorate and make it look as amazing. (And certainly it’s not my preferred discipline.) Being a big fan of many food and cooking shows (no surprise there 😆), bread plaiting is something I often see being done. Despite that, I was very unconfident in trying to do plaiting for a time though as I felt I was not particularly good at handiwork. (Heck, I struggled to learn to tie shoelaces until I was well into adolescence!)

A while ago, I finally decided to attempt to make a four-strand plaited bread. But even as I was following steps and images from my book on bread making, I was still struggling and confused by the plaiting. 😖 This was until I found a very useful video on YouTube by The Bread Kitchen. See the link here 👉 https://youtu.be/RP6j7esQyjk. By following the demonstration, it was much more straightforward with the plaiting (and thanks to my mum who helped whilst I was making it! 😂)

Why don’t you have a go too? 😉
