Note

Bake to your health !!!!!
If you need a multi-tiered loaf, then it is collected as a multi-tiered cake!
On the advice of our grandmothers, do not put raisins in the wedding loaf, so that they do not have dark spots in their lives, although now there is also white raisins!
And yet, young people put coins in a loaf for prosperity and profit!


If you want a loaf with a scythe or a rope around, then divide the dough into 2 parts, one 60% and 40% dough.
Roll a ball from a smaller piece and place it on a baking sheet. We make 3 identical pieces from the larger one and roll long bundles from which we weave a braid, almost 1.5 times longer than the circumference of our ball. We put it around the ball. There will be a space between the ball and the scythe - that's very good! The braid grows up and begins to connect with the ball, it is unforgettable to lubricate with water and DO NOT LET the braid stick !!!!!! The scythe slowly squeezes the ball and it starts growing up! The loaf must be high! Get upset and into the oven!

According to custom, a man should put a loaf in the oven! Do not forget! Even a little son can help you with this, because he is a MAN!
Now, in winter, the loaf can be decorated with a branch of viburnum.

Happiness, kindness, love and prosperity to your home!

To your health!

Daryushka, you have written that braids, lattices, leaves, flowers must be placed on the loaf BEFORE proofing. It is right? It's just that I also did this before, but the decorations "float" on the growing loaf, the pattern is disturbed. Now I lay out these decorations just before baking or a little earlier, grease with an egg if necessary and bake. So the decorations remain in their place and do not move out. How do your jewelry behave?
Daryushka
bake a loaf, take out and glue the prepared decorations and go straight to the oven! 5-10 minutes, look a little reddened and that's it!
Try not to do the jewelry with a heavy weight, so that the top of the head does not fall, and the sides can withstand!
Probably I will correct that people would not be mistaken! Thank you

Daryushka, thanks for MK! Thank you very much.
I have a question: Flour 7-8 glasses, and what is the volume of a glass, fill it with or without top, 7-8 glasses is the whole amount of flour. that went to the loaf or is it just the flour that is used immediately for the initial kneading, and the amount of flour that is additionally added during kneading is already in excess of 7-8 stacks?
Cat
Daria. the recipe is excellent, I always bake this recipe. Only flour should be added carefully (different stickiness).
