How to make baskets
  1. Wrap bowl with aluminum foil.
  2. Turn bowl around and put on dough stripes as it's shown on the picture.
  3. Press down in the center so that the stripes stick together. This will be the bottom of the basket so it has to be flat.
  4. Interlace stripes around the bowl. Once under and once across previously layed stripes.
  5. Interlace stripes until you reach top of the bowl.
  6. Make a braid with three stripes and bake it on a bowl that is the same as one for the basket.
  7. Bake all of these for 15 to 20 minutes on 180°C.
  8. When it's baked carefully remove from bowl and also remove aluminum foil.
  9. Stick two toothpicks into basket, on parallel sites and attach braid on the other side of toothpicks.
