- Add the yeast mixture and applesauce to it and mix.
- If the dough is too dry, add in more water 1 tbsp at a time, until it forms a soft dough.
- Knead well for about 10 minutes.

- Next, leaving behind about 3 cm on top of the roll, cut the roll into 2 halves,
- Now start chaining the two halves in crisscross pattern and finally sealing the end.
