58 | HOLIDAYS When braiding, I usually begin by very lightly joining the strands together. After braiding I undo the beginning and re-braid it to give it an even look. Pinch loose ends to seal and tuck underneath. Cover and let rise 40 minutes or until almost doubled in size. Paint with soy milk or a little oil mixed with maple syrup or agave. Sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame. Preheat oven to 170°C. Bake for 30 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped, let cool for 20 minutes and then dig in! NOTE: * I grind the flaxseed finely then pass it through a sieve before mixing with water. **If making with white flour only, add ¼ tsp turmeric with flax seed to give it a yellow color If braided bread looks a little stringy dip your finger into a little water and smooth dough down to give it an even look.
