Holiday Bread Basket Something to really whet appetites for a holiday meal is a bread basket woven from real dough! It's just for looks, however, and not edible because varnish is an important ingredient to make the basket beautiful and durable. To make the bread basket, follow these easy steps: Mixing 1) In a large mixing bowl mix 6 cups of flour and lMt cups of salt with 2% cups of water. 2) Dump the dough onto a lightly floured counter or board. 3) Knead the dough for about 5 minutes. 4) Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough to V* inch thickness. Cutting 1) Cut dough into long strips about % inch wide, using a pastry cutter or paring knife. 2) Cover the strips with a damp cloth until ready to start weaving. , Weaving 1) Turn an oven-proof dish upside down on a cookie tin. 2) Place strips of dough, parallel over the dish, making sure the strips are long enough to touch the cookie tin on all sides of the dish. 3) Now cross these strips with the new strips, weaving the new strips under and over the strips already laid. 4) As you weave, moisten the places where the strips meet. 5) Weave strips around the sides of the bowl, also. 6) To keep the strips from slipping, you may wish to pin the strips down. 7) Wind the last strip around the bottom edge of the bowl, pressing it firmly against the ends of all the strips it touches. This strip will be the edge of the finished basket. Baking Bake basket at 325 degrees, 1 to IVi hours until it is lightly browned and dry. Remove basket from oven; take out the pins, and let it cool. -Ease the basket off the bowl. Varnishing Brush every inch of the basket with varnish, covering thoroughly. Let dry. Add a second coat of varnish. Let it dry again. Now the bread basket is ready to be lined with a cloth napkin and filled with delicious holiday rolls. SAVE YOUR BATHTUB!
