Yum! Is the cinnamon mixed throughout the dough or rolled into the center of each “string” in the braid?
I paint two layers on the bread just prior to sticking in the oven. The coat goes over the egg+honey wash. The coat is just vodka and cinnamon mixed together until I get the shade that I want. I think this technique is called spice painting but not sure.
Just curious. You seem to have a strong preference for braided bread - any particular reason? Any advantages?
Not sure. It's a bit of a challenge to braid, makes the texture a bit different, looks nice, means I don't have to score, also I only own one loaf pan and enjoy making two at a time.
Just wandering around this craft aimlessly to be honest. Maybe in a month or so I will look at other ways. Got any ideas?
It's clearly a type of Tesla valve!
