  • Don't Overwork the Dough: When you're mixing the dough, be careful not to overwork it. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Let the Dough Rise Properly: After you've mixed the dough, let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help the braid to be light and fluffy.
