<p class="MsoNormal">I have created a bread dough formula specifically designed
for braiding, based on the Tangzhong principle for handling flour; and also
containing butter. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tangzhong is a paste of flour cooked in water or milk at 65
°C, which is used to improve the texture of bread, making it soft and fluffy.
This mixture then holds moisture so that, when added to a bread mix dough it bakes with a soft, fluffy texture and
makes the bread keep for longer. The starch in the flour gels and
contributes to slightly greater rise during baking. The addition of butter
confers added flavor and a more tender texture to the bread. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In the bread baking world, an inclusion is whatever you
incorporate to the basic formula to enhance the recipe; there is a
difference between modifying a formula
or adding to it, the last are inclusions.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A list of diverse inclusions that can be used are suggested,
sweet and sour, and the procedure to accomplish them is detailed. Examples of
them are shown.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Q7RgCzGF-MCHyjVEWZ6YwAnxJVA-i6U55jVYBp4AtzLuCoodg8aUFaYrc0lwNz_iZjq82MlNg_rsDsdsz42OvooftWSrthC4by9OlMR6jFXt9EsjDdQg7PCWFc09rizRoG9Vbyoqhm7B/s600/687+-+2+8658+s+E+o%252Cs%252Cp_resize.JPG" style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-weight: 700; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Q7RgCzGF-MCHyjVEWZ6YwAnxJVA-i6U55jVYBp4AtzLuCoodg8aUFaYrc0lwNz_iZjq82MlNg_rsDsdsz42OvooftWSrthC4by9OlMR6jFXt9EsjDdQg7PCWFc09rizRoG9Vbyoqhm7B/s320/687+-+2+8658+s+E+o%252Cs%252Cp_resize.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Oats, sunflower and

Although in my book there are complicated braids, which I
encourage you to try as a challenge, at the same time I have developed many
braids based on the humble three strand plait. The idea is that if you learn
this basic braid you can have a wealth of opportunities to produce fancy breads while you master the other braids. <br /></div>

<h4>
This is a synopsis of my book “The Art of Braiding Bread” </h4>
</div>
<br />
Why is braiding bread significant <br />
Presentation is very important in nutrition. From the moment we are allowed or decide to choose our own food we select what we want to eat. First we look at it, then we smell it and lastly we taste it. And only then, if all our senses approve, we swallow it. Later we remember what we liked and disliked, in lasting impressions. If when we look at food what we see seems appetizing we are more inclined to smell and taste it. A simple loaf of bread might take away our hunger but a braided loaf announces that somebody spent time preparing something special for a celebration. <br />
<br />
or as Master Baker Jeffrey Hamelman expresses in "Bread. A baker's book of techniques and recipes":<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Why braid? Why go to the trouble at all? Why not simply take
a chunk of dough and stuff it into a loaf pan and avoid the cumbersome task of
rolling out all those strands? We are fortunate, as humans, to have an
urge—irrepressible!—to take something that is good and make it better, to take
something pleasing and make it more so, to create beauty in anyway we can. And
this, I think, is why a braided loaf provides both baker and eater with more
gratification than the same weight of dough baked in a pan.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
There is an immense delight in taking a number of discordant
strands of dough and bringing them into a harmony. The beauty of shape, the
symmetry of form, the rapport between hand and dough—these have always given
braiding a special satisfaction to me. I hope some of that satisfaction finds
its way into your hands as well."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Learning How to Braid Dough<br />
<br />
If you thought braiding dough was uncomplicated or straightforward you would not be looking at these lines now. In the book we start with the most basic of braids, the one with 3 strands, and then patiently and progressively go up to any number of them, with practical step by step description of the process. Braids have been classified systematically so now it is easy to refer to a particular braid and compare it with other ones. <br />
<br />
There are Quick Reference Guides for some braids, which you can print out and have at hand when braiding. <br />
<br />
The book offers something even for proficient bread braiders; some chapters present a challenge, in video form, in which braiding is carried to the professional level. <br />
<br />
The book is eminently visual, illustrated with more than <b>690 diagram enhanced pictures and 28 videos</b>. The game plans can be replicated at home at your own pace. Nothing is taken for granted, and you can try the procedures over and over again until you COMPREHEND them. Furthermore, if you don’t succeed today, come back tomorrow. <br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I made it my concern to find simple ways of making
apparently complicated braids, so early on your apprenticeship you can make some
money with your newly learned skills (See; "The 3x3 Bread Braid", "Four Times Three" and others).<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div><br /></div><div><br /></div>The book is in EPub format, which, since Kindle recently adopted it, has become the universal<div>standard for books.<br /><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>

<b>The case for braiding bread</b><br />
Presentation is very important in nutrition. Before ingesting food we try to make sure that it will be safe to do so, and hopefully also enjoyable. To help us with the decision our different senses cooperate with each other. First the eyes must approve it, then the nose has to agree and finally the tongue makes the last pronouncement. <br />
<br />
This mass of dough, when baked like it is will give you an acceptable loaf. <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-kuS66hg6ILc/Uu_-mAF8BPI/AAAAAAAABdk/RQ56kdneVVg/s1600-h/1-DSCN3113-E-escog.R3.jpg"><img alt="clip_image004" border="0" height="196" src="https://lh5.ggpht.com/-_gOSK54Gyck/VItHPKopJkI/AAAAAAAABxs/5pfcuThaV3g/clip_image004%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="clip_image004" width="244" /></a> <br />
But this same amount of dough can be enhanced by braiding it <br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-s61vHrwZ0lU/Uu_-n5ntrWI/AAAAAAAABd0/xsalMa82oXQ/s1600-h/2-DSCN3121-E-esc-R3.jpg"><img alt="clip_image005" border="0" height="239" src="https://lh6.ggpht.com/-DOj1hoVQGGU/VItHP4OfJQI/AAAAAAAABx0/Q24ZpvQNmwA/clip_image005%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="clip_image005" width="244" /></a> <br />
And your bread will look like this <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ain7Ibq5viQ/Uu_-polb47I/AAAAAAAABeE/q3CNu5Toeqw/s1600-h/3-DSCN3134-E-esc3.jpg"><img alt="clip_image006" border="0" height="264" src="https://lh6.ggpht.com/-7jUqtGLUJeI/VItHQWEdkHI/AAAAAAAABx8/W6mLUpWq0g8/clip_image006%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="clip_image006" width="329" /></a> <br />
Braiding the bread gives it added value, a more professional look. <br />
<br />
Some people don't know how to or are afraid of braiding bread dough for dread of ruining a batch of it. To get skilled at braiding take about 1 cup (circa 4 oz or 114 g) of all purpose flour and add enough water to make a workable mass. There is no need of kneading this dough, just form ropes with it and practice. You can re-form it as many times as you like. The cost is negligible and it will keep a long time, well wrapped, in the refrigerator. The gluten will give out after having used the dough for some time, discard ¼ of it and replace with new so you don’t lose the feel of the real thing. <br />
<br />
I don’t advise using Plasticine or Play-Doh because it will soil your kitchen work surface and doesn’t behave like real bread dough. <br />
<br />
The abundance of salt in ”Pate Mort” destroys the gluten of the mixture and again you will not have the experience of the authentic material. <br />
<br />
If you want to learn how to braid dough don’t try practicing with yarn, string or rolled up wet paper towels since this will only make things more difficult for you because these materials don’t have the plasticity of the original. <br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Braiding 3 Strands of Bread Dough</b> <br />
Roll out 3 strands of dough, of equal length and diameter, with tapering ends.<br />
<b><br /></b>

<br />
Pinch together the strands at the top.<br />

<br />
Have the book in front of you and repeat the moves just as you see them there. In order to guide you I have drawn a red line on the rope you have to move and an arrow showing the direction in which you have to move it; after you did, the displaced strand is again highlighted. At first you will make the moves mechanically, repeat them until you gain an understanding of the process. <br />
<b><br />There is only one way of braiding 3 strands, but there are several ways of describing or presenting the procedure.</b><br />
<b><br />Description I </b><br />
Take the right hand strand and pull it over the one next to it.<br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-7iJQd2giJYE/Uu_-zRe9cZI/AAAAAAAABe0/AbdlI3MLjVQ/s1600-h/6-2DSCN3256-LF-R3.jpg"><img alt="clip_image009" border="0" height="244" src="https://lh5.ggpht.com/-u4sgIFohL30/VItHSIIpKTI/AAAAAAAAByU/BaBQZhrfmYo/clip_image009%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="clip_image009" width="201" /></a> <br />
<br />
You will obtain this.<br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-1HgVByPyHkA/Uu_-0wlPcWI/AAAAAAAABfE/frif5S_wFdQ/s1600-h/7-3DSCN3257-L-R3.jpg"><img alt="clip_image010" border="0" height="244" src="https://lh6.ggpht.com/-gMcCj8L2fF8/VItHSrqcFlI/AAAAAAAAByc/mcNw1QvzALQ/clip_image010%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="clip_image010" width="201" /></a> <br />
<br />
Then take the left hand strand and pull it over the one next to it.<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-vyJnunIxsn8/Uu_-2QxcnpI/AAAAAAAABfU/zTM75Q1sCyo/s1600-h/8-4DSCN3257-LF-R3.jpg"><img alt="clip_image011" border="0" height="244" src="https://lh3.ggpht.com/-LYj7JFr50Xw/VItHTFp7diI/AAAAAAAAByg/HeZjFvUwoM4/clip_image011%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="clip_image011" width="201" /></a> <br />
<br />
And this is what you will get.<br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-7Z0ph_qq6sQ/Uu_-32tvldI/AAAAAAAABfk/JQCEFAiRbek/s1600-h/9-53.jpg"><img alt="clip_image012" border="0" height="244" src="https://lh5.ggpht.com/-157DsDBs83k/VItHTjCHa5I/AAAAAAAABys/WzdGItvga9s/clip_image012%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="clip_image012" width="201" /></a> <br />
<br />
That is all there is to it, now keep repeating the moves until you reach the end of the strands. <br />

<b>Improving the 3 strand braid</b> <br />
In relatively long braids the inevitable pulling on strands makes the braid become progressively more elongated and consequently uneven. To prevent this, start the braid at the middle of the ropes. <br />

There are also other ways of arranging three strands in order to start the braid from the middle of the ropes. Both techniques I am going to present next will give you a nicely proportioned loaf. <br />

<b>The Double Decker</b> <br />
A simple thing like placing one braid on top of another one gives the loaf volume and an appealing visual effect. <br />
<br />
Cut off 1/3 of the dough and braid both parts. <br />
<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-VOxCut2sSwM/Uu__GRZVfXI/AAAAAAAABh0/l5ZmPnT7C-E/s1600-h/65-1DSCN3346-Ur3.jpg"><img alt="clip_image023" border="0" height="133" src="https://lh5.ggpht.com/-rnpYiGD-Hhk/VItHY4CO_2I/AAAAAAAABz8/lNe8eHomVY8/clip_image023%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="clip_image023" width="244" /></a> <br />
<b>The Triple Decker</b> <br />
In this case, holding together the 3 stages with wooden dowels is imperative. <br />

<b>How to control the size of a braided loaf</b></h3>
In bread braiding, given a certain amount of dough, the hitherto still unsolved problem was how to manage the size of the bread. <br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-5ty-2wxciSM/Uu__K6QcovI/AAAAAAAABik/zB0dXg6iqbo/s1600-h/78-DSCN3164-Er3.jpg"><img alt="clip_image026" border="0" height="100" src="https://lh3.ggpht.com/-GsZISm_KZjc/VItHacVSaJI/AAAAAAAAB0U/Ps_DKVltyQU/clip_image026%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="clip_image026" width="244" /></a> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-riA_3m9D5uo/Uu__MdungnI/AAAAAAAABi0/E8bBksSmHRQ/s1600-h/79-DSCN3179-Er3.jpg"><img alt="clip_image027" border="0" height="101" src="https://lh5.ggpht.com/-IcMJYr1jBuw/VItHaqTfqUI/AAAAAAAAB0Y/LVW5-rQXKvI/clip_image027%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-width: 0px; display: inline; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="clip_image027" width="244" /></a> <br />
Comparison of two braids, each made with the same amount of dough into 4 ropes but braided using different techniques. The one on the right resulted in a braid 10% shorter (and consequently plumper) than the one on the left. <br />
<br />
According to my studies linear braids of 3,4,5 and 6 ropes diminish in length an average of 20 to 25% from strand to finished bread. <br />
<br />
Consequently, once you decide how long your braid should be, the ropes you roll should be longer in the corresponding percentage. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Bread Wreaths</b> <br />
They make an attractive centerpiece for any dinner table. Use an inverted plate or bowl to determine the inside diameter of the wreath and then measure its circumference. Calculate the length the ropes should have according to what was mentioned earlier. <br />
<br />
In this case the threads must have the same diameter throughout (no tapered ends). <br />

Cover the union where the ends meet with a small braid. <br />
<br />
<br />
The surface of ropes can be made intriguing by creating <b>epi cuts </b>on them. <br />

<b>Going Beyond 3 Strands</b> <br />
Although having learned to plait with 3 strands may have opened up a whole world of experiences for you, it is in human nature to always want to go beyond. So let’s tackle braiding bread with from 4 to an infinite number of ropes. <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The 4 Strand Braids</b> <br />
Since we will be examining multiple ways of braiding 4 strands I have arbitrarily given them names derived from the Greek alphabet for identification. <br />

<br />
This is a simple flat braid useful as it is or as a base for a multiple decked loaf. It is also particularly interesting, when braided a bit loosely, if you wish to embed objects in it such as eggs, candles (Saint Lucia Day) or similar, which with other kind of patterns might end with an unbalanced, asymmetrical result. <br />

It is worthwhile to try this technique because of its versatility. As we shall see further on, its basic moves can be used with any number of strands, from 4 up, even or odd (see further on "The 5 Strand Delta Braid" and “The 6 Strand Alpha Braid”). <br />

<b>Braiding with 5 strands</b></h3>
Delving into various 5 strand braiding techniques I have again taken the liberty of randomly assigning them names derived from the Greek alphabet. <br />

An interesting feature of this braid is its asymmetrical end result. <br />

This plaid uses the same basic moves that were presented in the 4 Strand Epsilon Braid. <br />

<b>The 5 Strand Epsilon Braid</b> <br />
This interesting braid is formed by one side feeding the other and vice versa. <br />
Among other uses, this five strand plait is suitable for long braids because it can easily be started from the middle of the ropes and consequently produce a balanced outcome. <br />

<b>The Two Four Braid</b> <br />
Why the name? Because you use 2 strands but end up working with 4 extremities. <br />
In this case it’s the <u>threads</u> that are numbered and <u>not</u> the positions. <br />

<br />
With this braiding technique the combination of shrinking due to braiding, expansion of proofing and oven spring result in a circa 34% of length diminution from rope to finished bread. That means you will obtain a nice plump loaf with it. <br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>The Twist</b> <br />
Just twisting two ropes of dough together can lead to multiple uses for it. First of all, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="back_15"></a><b>as is</b>, either baked in free-form or in a pan. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="back_16"></a><b>It can also be formed into a wreath</b> or serve as a base or top in a multi-decked loaf. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="twist_agregado_4"></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="back_17"></a><b>A simple mound of dough draped with a twist turns into an impressive loaf. </b><b>Twisting two ropes also enhances other braids.</b> <br />

To introduce you to how to make bread mazes I am going to give detailed instructions on how to make loaves of specific sizes (ergo weighs). As blueprints for the shapes we will use four geometric forms: triangle, square, pentagon and hexagon. These can be downloaded; and 8 videos will show you the mechanics of the proceedings. Once you have mastered the set procedures you can adapt them to your particular needs.<br />
