Sharing bread has always been part of many communities’ celebrations. Decorative bread, especially in the form of a ring or circle, enhances the relevance of the ceremony with its powerful symbolic meanings.

The inset shows the bread in dough form. The main picture presents the baked bread.
Your bread looks delicious in dough & finished form. I love the shape of the braided bread.

Thank you Claudia. Go ahead and make it.
I may try to make it but I definitely do not have the skills or technique to achieve anything near as beautiful as your bread.

Dear Claudia:
I publish the braids you see here not to show off about how dextrous I am but to encourage other bakers to try them. What you see here is the result of many tries. The techniques have been simplified as much as possible; the only thing I can’t give you is the will to try them.
thank you for the encouragement. i will try the bread
Claudia
my very best wishes; and I'm willing to help you along if necessary.
Just remember that practice makes perfection and even if you have failures along the way, they are lessons learned.
Hello Ibor, I think you have moved beyond braiding and now you are crocheting bread dough. Your bread ring is truly amazing work. It has been a long time since I visited TFL. It is fun to be back and find familiar names. I especially enjoyed seeing your bread artistry again. Happy baking!
Thank you Embth. It is nice when one's work is appreciated.
