Topped with a cinnamon streusel & drizzled with warm vanilla glaze, it's amazing. With two rises, a sweet filling, and a tricky, sticky plait to master, things weren't going… Plaited loaves look fabulous and provide lots of lovely golden crust - perfect for serving with soup. Place the plaited dough onto a floured baking tray, and leave to prove for another hour, until risen again. This dish is my Italian adaptation of Paul Hollywood's eight strand bread.

I'm sure this recipe will be delicious but I have a problem with the plaiting order of the bread according to what has been printed on the Paul Hollywood recipe on the BBC Food site. An easy and delicious bread or scone that is super on its own or as an accompaniment to soup or picnics. I made this for lunch when I had run out of fresh bread and needed something quick to go with homemade soup. Needless to say it all disappeared at the one sitting!
