For Thanksgiving, I want to weave and bake a bread basket out of dough but I don't think I have a formula for the dough. Would it include yeast? What is a good formula for making the dough? Are there other concerns?
Thanks.

One from Betty herself - decorative.

Yes. Practice, practice, practice being able to roll out near perfectly uniformed strands for your weave.
How about rolling dough to a uniform thicknes, and cutting strips?
Think about it. There's a cornucopia in the middle of the table with X-mas goodies cascading out of it...
Is anyone going to say, "Hey. Those strands aren't even. I can't stay here and eat or drink."
Don't worry about perfect anything. It's bread dough adn it'll change in the course of handling, assembling, cooking and finishing. This is one case where good enough is good enough.
It ain't world peace, it's just lunch,...
