Method
-
Mix all ingredients into a dough. Whole wheat absorbs more, so add a splash of water if it feels stiff.
-
Knead until smooth, then rest the dough for 15 minutes and knead briefly again.
-
Cover and let rise until nearly doubled.
-
Divide and braid, rest on lined trays, then egg wash.
-
Bake at 175 C (350 F) until deep golden.
