I won best of show at the county fair with this favorite yeast bread. I like to shape the dough into an attractive braid. It smells wonderful coming out of the oven, and everyone likes the texture and flavor. -Marie Hattrup Sparks, Nevada

This braid is a great make-ahead breakfast or brunch item. I love that I can prepare it the night before and just pop it in the oven in the morning.

Not worth the effort. The instructions were unclear and the braid didn't turn out as pictured.

Disappointed. The dough was difficult to work with and the braid didn't rise properly. The filling was also bland and lacked flavor.

This braid was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still pretty good. The dough was easy to work with and the filling was creamy and tangy. Next time I'll try using less sugar in the filling.

Not bad for a first try! The dough was a bit tricky to work with, but the braid turned out great. The filling was delicious and the crust was flaky. I'll definitely try it again.

I've tried many sour cream yogurt braid recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dough is incredibly tender and flavorful, and the filling is perfectly balanced. I love that it's not too sweet or too tart. It's the perfect treat for any occasion

This sour cream yogurt braid was an absolute delight! The dough was incredibly easy to work with and rolled out beautifully. The filling was creamy and tangy, and the braid baked up golden brown and flaky. I'll definitely be making this again!
