In this work, we find a closed form formula for the braid index of an [Formula: see text]-bridge braid, a class of positive braid knots which simultaneously generalizes torus knots, 1-bridge braids, and twisted torus knots.

Along the way, we show that the disparate definitions of twisted torus knots in the literature agree.
