Whole Wheat Loaf Twist

For a fancy twist, I start off with fresh stone ground wheat. You can see the recipe in an earlier article.

Divided dough

I decide the dough into three equal pieces.

“Ropes” of dough

The three pieces of dough are rolled out into “ropes”.

Starting the braid

The pieces get braided together on a greased pan and allowed to rise like this.

Ready to bake

After rising, I bake the bread at 350*F for 35 minutes as per instructions and let it cool. Pretty simple actually once you have the basic whole wheat recipe.

Baked braid

Hot buttered goodness fresh from the oven and smeared with lots of churned cow juice.
