Make A Wreath to Celebrate Christmas---christmas Wreath Bread
1.
Use the post-oil method to knead the dough until the gluten expands, and round it into the plastic wrap on the lid of the basin and leave it to ferment in a warm place.
2.
Fermentation is complete when the dough has reached 2-2.5 times its original volume.
3.
After fermentation, the dough is taken out and vented and divided into 6 uniform portions. After rounding, cover with plastic wrap to relax for 15 minutes.
4.
Roll the loosened dough into an oval shape, and then thin the bottom edge after turning it over, so that the necking part will fit naturally after being rolled up.
5.
Rolled into strips from top to bottom.
6.
Slowly knead the dough into a long strip of about 70cm.
7.
Braid into a 3-strand braid, pinch the head and tail tightly.
8.
Garnish with raisins and put it in a warm and humid place for final fermentation.
9.
When it is twice as large as the original volume, brush the whole egg liquid on the surface and bake it in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Brush a thin layer of melted butter immediately after it is out of the oven.
Tips:
1. When kneading the noodles, do not add all the liquid in at once, leave about 10g for adjustment.
2. The long-kneading step in step 6: It will be more difficult to knead the dough to the required length at once. You can knead several doughs in turn, and it will be easier to operate when the dough has a slack time.
3. After the bread is baked until the color is satisfied, cover with tin foil until the baking is finished.
