How it's done

Dough

Filling

Place feta, honey and garlic in a bowl, season, mix well.

Shape

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle (approx. 30 x 25 cm), cover with the filling, roll up from the long edge. Cut the roll in half lengthwise, braid the strands with the cut sides facing up, place in the prepared loaf tin. Brush with egg.

Bake

Approx. 30 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 180 °C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, remove from the tin and leave to cool completely on a rack.
