Critical Success Points

  • Activating the yeast properly (water temperature and foaming)
  • Kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic
  • First bulk rise until doubled
  • Shaping and braiding the strands tightly
  • Second rise for a puffy crumb
  • Baking to the correct internal temperature

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oven and baking sheet can cause burns – use oven mitts.
  • Do not use water hotter than 120°F (49°C) when activating yeast, as it can kill the yeast.
