  2. The picture made me want to test it and I do not understand but my dough was very sticky, ( I use no trouble PAD), it was very difficult to make my braid and after 20 minutes in the oven I found that”it was not cooked inside but outside too , nothing vir with your beautiful photo, you have an idea of ​​why ?

    1. have you weighed or used a measuring cup? it must weigh ingredients, try putting 5cl less liquid to see. The braid should not be too tight or it will not cook well

      1. Hello Marie
        I think that is right sab. Although I weighed the ingredients for your recipe, the dough was too liquid(cake dough looks like). I had to add 100-150g flour for my dough resembles that on your photo. The tcheureks were very good and had the consistency I was looking for a while.
        Thank you for your recipe.
