Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Divide the 1 lb brioche dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 10-inch rope.
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.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk the 1 egg with 1 tbsp water. Brush the mixture over each knot.
Step 5
Bake until deep golden brown and puffed, about 15-18 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
