Preparation: Flatten risen dough into rectangles; slather apricot jam in center, slash sides and braid. Cover with clean damp cloth and let rise.
A little of the apricot jam seeps out and burns during the baking. The burned apricot can be snapped right off. It also pulls away easily from parchment paper. Note that some of the dough can be used to make bagels as well...
