Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rise for 1-2 hours.

Fold the other half over the filling and press the edges to seal. Cut the dough into strips and braid them together. Let the braids rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush the braids with an egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let the braids cool for a few minutes before serving.
