I tried making this bread, but it was very dry and knocked the bowl off the stand when I tried kneading it. I had measured the flour so I tried again. This time I weighed the flour and was very careful of all measurements.i noticed that by weighing it, I used about 1/4 c. less, but the dough was not much looser than the first, but I decided to bake them. The first came out fair with a heavy bottom crust. The second sat longer, but was easier rolling into logs. Both looked beautiful coming out of the oven, but the second one was tough. Does letting it rise for too long cause this? I loved working the 6 braids and noe feel quite accomplished! I’ll try it again one day soon. In the meantime the second loaf is being turned into crumbs. No waste.
