If you’ve ever made a typical lattice pie crust, then you might be familiar with the amount of weaving that is required.

The key to making this herringbone design, besides having nimble fingers, is having perfect dough. You need something that is pliable enough to weave, but also something that remains cold and rich and won’t get messy from all the handling.
