Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Divide the 1 lb brioche dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 10-inch rope.

  3. Step 3

    Fold each rope in half, then twist the two halves together and pinch the ends to form a knot. Place on the prepared sheet.

  4. Step 4

    In a small bowl, whisk the 1 egg with 1 tbsp water. Brush the mixture over each knot.

  5. Step 5

    Bake until deep golden brown and puffed, about 15-18 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
