  • Step 6/7

    Roll up the dough and make a cut down the center of it, leaving it attached at the top so that the dough is easier to knot. Then twist each strand one over the other. Form the twisted dough cord into a circle so that the ends meet on top of each other. Continue like that for all remaining pieces of dough.
