       | machines to make it.[1] They offer lots of options - twisted,
       | braided, twisted and braided, braided twice, etc. Many cultures
       | have twisted and braided dough products, and there's machinery to
       | make them on Alibaba.

       | Hmm. Just realized I haven't seen a braided loaf of wheat bread
       | in a very long time. Seems like various sourdough breads that put
       | a lot of emphasis on the crust took over that niche.
       | 
       | They used to be quite popular as "exotic" breads with a vague
       | Spanish/Italian vibe in the early 00s.
