Challah is a soft and fluffy egg bread, often served on the Jewish sabbath. It's delicious all on its own, or topped with butter and/or jam. If I can make and braid Challah, then YOU can make and braid Challah! Ingredients are listed below:
Ingredients for 2 loaves:
1 1/3 cups warm (105-110°F) water
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons good-quality olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt
3 large eggs, beaten
5 cups bread flour OR 6 cups all-purpose flour (add slightly more flour as necessary to achieve a workable dough)

I am a Jewish woman and I never thought of making the dough in a loaf pan! Great for sandwiches. Why didn't I or we think of that? Maybe it is because we are Reformed Jews and would not have a problem eating challah any time of the week. However, the Orthodox and even Conservative Jews may think it is special for the Sabbath. I'm not sure, but I surely am going to make it in a loaf pan. Also, one of the things I find so special about your videos is that you give alternatives such as kneading by hand or by a dough hook. Some of us of a certain age and 'issues' cannot knead by hand anymore, so I'm always grateful for my Kitchen Aid and that dough hook. You're terrific! I'm so glad I found you!

Although his videos are not the best done technically with all the camera adjustments, the way he gently explains things and his nice smile make him one of the most pleasant and kind looking person on KZfaq. I certainly want to try his recipes.

Dear Kevin.. you know, sometimes you find a KZfaq Channel “by accident” I found your channel. The one I have been watching right now is two years old. I used to bake a lot, but due to life circumstances, I haven’t for some years now. However you inspire me to start baking again. Thank you. I enjoy all of your videos. Making dinner, flower arrangements ect. It is so wonderful in a cold world. Take good care 🌺

Thank you VERY much for this recipe AND unlocking the secret of HOW TO MAKE THE BRAIDS! Oh , you wouldn’t believe the difficulty I had trying to follow directions I found elsewhere.. I even made sketches to remember. I think there were more than 4 ropes involved, I had a good laugh at myself seeing how easy your method is. Oh for joy!! Now i can made this to impress my family for the holidays. 💕🌲

I like that this recipe was put together in one bowl and was very simple. Thank you for the clear instructions for braiding the 4 strands. I was beginning to get discouraged as I couldn't seem to follow the directions of other videos. You didn't shift the view or cut away and your "mantra" made it easy to remember. The bread came out beautifully.

Your four braid is so easy to follow. Also have a six braid easy to follow. Over two, under one and over two. Always starts on the right until done. Also made chocolate dough and plain and use one of each color to braid. It's so beautiful.
