TRICK ADD A SMALL BOWL OF BOILING WATER INTO THE OVEN TO HELP WITH THE RISE.

At this point your dough will have risen and formed a few air pockets! good! now divide in to 6 pc. or weight them so they are the same size. 

Each piece needs to be dived as per picture into 3 pieces and rolled so you an make the braids. 

Making sure to close both ends. 

Place them on your parchment lined pan, brush them with your egg wash and place them apart enough so when they rise they have room and wont touch each other. 

Place again in lighted oven for 20 min.

These will  rise ready for baking at 350 degrees  for 20 min.

Meanwhile while these are baking prepare your glaze 

3 Tbs. sugar
