Roll each small piece of dough into a long sausage of about 25 cm.

Take two branches and braid them.

Stage 11

Form a crown by gluing the ends together. Do the same with the remaining pieces of dough.

Stage 12

Place your crowns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add a raw egg to the center.

Stage 13

Cover with a clean cloth and leave to rise for 1 hour in a draft-free place.

Stage 14

Brush the crowns with beaten egg and pearls of sugar or sprinkles.

Stage 15

Preheat the oven to 180°c.
