looks much better than my second attempt

This was a gift for a friend who had just lost a family member. I just found out today that she said it was amazing. Only been baking bread for about 3 weeks and only our second time making this. My partner gets 80% of the credit.

Looks delicious! Beautiful braid, and I can smell it from here. Such a kindness for your friend.
Just a thought since you're new to bread baking; your oven may run a little hotter than you set the dial to. A few degrees cooler for a little longer might give the valleys a chance to brown more by the time you get that perfect color you have on the hills.
Do you knead the dough by hand for every loaf you bake?
