How to make a four-strand braid

Eating out may seem to save you trouble on the surface, but from a health perspective, it is a very bad habit. Caring for your physical and mental health starts with your diet. So follow me to learn how to make a four-strand golden braid.

1.1 Put the dough ingredients together, beat until the dough surface is smooth and has good ductility, then immediately spread it into a large sheet, wrap it in a fresh-keeping bag, and put it in the refrigerator for quick freezing for 30 minutes. 2 When the dough is frozen, take out the butter slices, place them on a floured chopping board, and roll them into a rectangle. 3 Sprinkle flour on the chopping board and place the butter slices in the middle of the dough. See here for how to convert the butter and dough sizes. 4 Wrap the four sides and pinch the joints tightly. 5 Roll the dough into a large rectangular piece. 6 Fold the right side 1/4 inward, and fold the left side up as well, connect them together, fold the dough in half again, and complete 1 fold of 4. 7 Then roll the folded dough into a large rectangular piece and fold both sides inward from 1/3 to complete 3 folds. 8 Roll the folded dough into 2 cm thick, fold the edge downward, and trim the side with a sharp knife. 9 Divide it into long strips according to the required amount (four strips in a group), roll it into about 1.5 cm thick, and use a sharp knife to cut each 4 pieces of about 170 grams. Use the cut edges to make up for the shortfall.

2.1 Braid each group of 4 and flatten all the dough. Number the dough from the right as 1, 2, 3, 4. The formula is "1 over 2, 3 over 1, 1 over 4" (Figure 8). Follow the picture and do it slowly. 2 After folding the two ends of the braid together, place it in a mold (Picture 9) and let it ferment in a warm and humid place. 3Finally, let it ferment until about 80% full, cover the box with a lid, and put it into a preheated 180℃ oven, on the lower layer, with upper and lower heat, for 30 minutes. 4 Remove from the mold immediately after taking it out of the oven, turn it side up, and let it cool on the baking rack.
