Tip: cookie sheets work well

(Ideal room temperature 70 degrees F.)

3. Bake at 325 degrees F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Oven temperatures may vary therefore baking times and/or temperatures may require adjustment.

4. Let braid cool for 15-30 minutes before slicing (an electric knife works the best).

5. After slicing, cut corner of frosting packet and drizzle over top of the braid.
