But then let us start from the beginning.
I cannot braid properly, I never had long hair I did not encourage the girls too keep their hair long so braiding I have hardly done. When I do it is not too good, at least to my critical eye it looks skewed.
So I kept telling Akanksha that I have to make a braided bread. She was like sure let us, but Ma you can do it. You make quite good braids. She must have realised that I need support and hence she agreed to make it.
I was mixing the dough when she realised I am not using the processor knowing that my cervical spondylosis will act up she told me to let her do the kneading. The dough was soft and sticky I kept hovering around and dusting the flour.
She did manage it not only that she went on and did the window pane test. I was surprised that she knew it. After taking my help to form the ball she was out.
In half an hour our dough was double. So we went ahead and made this braided bread with half the dough. The other half she has shaped in a different manner. Will share it soon.
The original recipe calls for raisins in the dough and orange marmalade to serve. We have omitted both as kiddo does not want anything to do with both.
I am glad that my kid has picked up so much of baking and she comes up with innovative bread too.
The most important part is I was touched when she kneaded the dough without being asked to especially when she hates the squishy feel of the dough.
This bread is thanks to Sonia Gupta of Anybody can Bake as I re-bonded with my girl while baking. Do check out Sonia's blog where her recent post on Homemade Pizza Sauce has me itching to make the sauce.
This bread is copied from Taste of Home.

Swati says
Perfectly baked bread, love how the braids are there after proofing too. Will love to have it with my favourite orange marmalade.
ArchanaPotdar says
I too will love it with marmalade Swati. unfortunately, it seems like too much of effort for just 1 person.
Mayuri Patel says
Pretty braiding and would definitely use the eggs for a much much softer bread. Its so much fun when kids help out in the kitchen.
ArchanaPotdar says
Yes, eggs do give a soft bread. Thanks, Mayuri.
