Do you deliver to central Pennsylvania?

u/Ghosty_Boo-B00 2d ago

I have never tried, but I suppose it could be figured out, I just fear it would be expensive as I’m down in Florida.

Oooh, I need some instructions to braid into a 6 point star!

We’ll slide 8/9/10 kinda show how
I do it. I lay the dough out like slide 8, I use gloves and olive oil while I work to keep the dough from sticking. Then I slowly work the dough in the same over under over pattern for each branch and it becomes the star using 6 bars. I also make 6 small balls and smash them flat with my hand and roll them up then slice that roll in half to make a rose base for the center. Then I tuck in the ends of the points and brush it with egg wash and let it rise 30-60 more mins then bake it
