How to make round braided loaves of bread – 2 Methods!

I’ve been baking braided bread for years. Occasionally, I’ve been asked to make round loaves. My last post on this was for a rounded loaf with a hollow center. In this case, we want a solid round. I’ve put together a brief tutorial on two ways to accomplish this.

Method 1 – Two Strands

This is easy to make, because it consists of just two strands. For this tutorial, I used 85g pieces of dough which makes for a small loaf. If you wanted to make something bigger, I would work with double that (170g/ea).

Method 2 – Six Strands – Winston Knot

This is a bit more challenging, but worth the effort! The Winston Knot is fun to make and a crowd pleaser when brought to the table.
