The Bread Ring

Sharing bread has always been part of many communities’ celebrations. Decorative bread, especially in the form of a ring or circle, enhances the relevance of the ceremony with its powerful symbolic meanings.

Do you include the formulae of the breads that are braided in your book?

Thank you Yipee. The book refers only to braiding.

Best wishes for these festivities.

Hi, ibor:

 

If formulae are not provided in your book, how do I decide which formula is suitable for braiding, and how much dough to use 樂樂樂?

Hi again Yippee.

Formulas most suitable for braiding are those that provide a rather firm dough. I would recommend Jeffrey Hamelman's "Bread.A baker's book of techniques and recipes". He has a Challah formula that is quite good for braiding, as he himself also says so. There you can find quantities too.

good baking
