Method

Take your bread dough and cut it into 3 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a long fat sausage - they should all be the same length and thickness
Put one on top of the other & start to plait.

Right over middle, then over left.

Keep plaiting all the way down
At the end, pinch each end and tuck under the middle. Put onto a baking tray and lave until it's doubled in size and then bake.

Enjoy!
