Put all Dry ingredients in a mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, Mix.

Add warm water and Olive Oil and knead with your hands or on medium low for 4-5 minutes.

Oil a large bowl and place dough into the bowl cover with a dish towel and allow to rise in a warm spot for 1.5-2 hours or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 400F, oil a large baking sheet.

Once the dough has doubled in size divide the dough into three equal size balls, roll the balls into 12-13 inch ropes. Place them all side by side with about an inch of space in between each. Join all three ends at one end and begin your braid. Once you have your braid, tuck ends slightly under so they don’t fray out when baked.

Drizzle with Olive Oil, salt and a little lavender.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until bread is nice and golden on top.

Remove from oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack.
