How to make baskets

  • Wrap bowl with aluminum foil.
  • Turn bowl around and put on dough stripes as it's shown on the picture.
  • 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.
  • Interlace stripes around the bowl. Once under and once across previously layed stripes.
  • Interlace stripes until you reach top of the bowl.
  • Make a braid with three stripes and bake it on a bowl that is the same as one for the basket.
  • Bake all of these for 15 to 20 minutes on 180°C.
  • When it's baked carefully remove from bowl and also remove aluminum foil.
  • Stick two toothpicks into basket, on parallel sites and attach braid on the other side of toothpicks.
