Eight Strand Plaited Loaf
This week's bread is the technical challenge from Series 3 of the Bake Off. It's an eight strand plaited loaf. This isn't the first time I have attempted this challenge and I think the first time I baked it the result was probably a bit better than today as the dough ended up a bit wet which posed a challenge in plaiting. It also took a few steps to get my head around the method. Once I had worked it out, the plait flowed and looked great. Its definitely one that I am going to reattempt again at some point to try and perfect my plaiting technique.
