Brioche Nanterre, from Baking with Julia (Nancy Silverton). The "braiding" effect was inspired by Sheila Linderman's technique in her book, The New French Baker. I took balls of dough and aligned them side by side, built up in pyramid fashion to achieve this look.

Brioche Nanterre, Interior. I brushed a beaten egg white towards the end of baking to give the loaf a  browning. Beaten egg yolk with a tablespoon of water give the loaf a nice sheen when applied before baking.
