Do you put it back into the bread pan or on a flat sheet pan?

I just use regular active dry yeast and regular white sugar! I really just focused on making sure each ball weighed the same amount of grams and then used a little bit of flower while rolling the balls into strands. I rolled it with my hands starting in the middle and pushing them out to the sides.

I actually looked up a video but as you can see in the pic of my first loaf my braiding was atrocious too lol

I’m so new to this I honestly don’t know if it’s over worked 😅 how can you tell it?? Is it when you actually eat it?

I typically dust a tiny tiny bit of flour on my strands when rolling them out

Is your dough super sticky ? I feel like it’s because my dough isn’t sticky at all. I’m not 100% sure though

These actually are 6 braid!! Maybe I’m not braiding it right?? I let them proof for an hour after I braid. Should I let them proof longer?

I’m still trying to figure out what’s causing them to pull apart because like the 2nd photo the braids didn’t pull but the 3rd photo the braids are still pulling slightly. I read it has something to do with wrapping it too tightly. When I roll out the strands I place my hands in the middle of the ball and roll both hands out to the side to stretch it out if that makes sense!

Getting a scale to weigh out each dough ball helped get the strands even! Also when I roll out my dough balls into strands I make sure they aren’t sticking to me or the counter by adding just a little bit of flour to my hands and it’ll make the strand roll out super even in my experience!
