Critical Success Points

  • Knead until the dough is smooth and passes the windowpane test.
  • Allow the dough to rise for the full 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Braid the three strands tightly and seal the ends to prevent unraveling.
  • Bake at a high temperature (450°F) for a crisp crust.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven and baking sheet with oven mitts.
  • Do not use water hotter than 120°F (49°C) or it may kill the yeast.
