To all the individuals who keep complaining about why she showed mixing all the flour stages. Not EVERYONE in the world knows what the dough is supposed to look like at certain stages. Some individuals (most of the time children learning to cook for the first time) like step by step stages so they cam see that YES their soft dough is looking the right way at certain stages. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Skip ahead. But don't complain over the little things just so that you can be a negative Nancy.

I made this for our Shabbat service and it was a hit! Not one crumb was left. Rabbi was so grateful to take a whole loaf home. Folks enjoyed this more than the challah from two local bakeries. That says a lot. The only thing I changed was using olive oil and as tradition prayer.

2 & 1/2 cups warm water tempertature @ 110 degrees ! / 1 tablespoon active yeast springle over water & let stand it for 5 mnts /mix 1/2 cup honey with wooden stick / beaten 4 tablespoon vegetable oil / beaten 2 large / a tablespoon of kosher salt/ 8 cups all purpose flour - BEATEN WELL AT EACH ADDITION -/ when the dough stiffen and u ca no longer mixen the flour with electric mixer / turn the dough out into a large lighter flour surface - kneed the dough until smooth elastic & no longer sticky - added more flour is need it !!! - cover the dough with damp clean cloth and let it RISE 1 and 1/2 hour or until the dough is double in bulk !!! / grease 2 baking sheets / punch down the risen dough / divide the dough in half / and kneed each half for 5mnts or so - added more flour is need it - to prevent the dough for getting sticky _ / \_then divide each half into 3rds - and roll each section under your palms - into a rope - about 1 and 1/2 inch - diameter - and taper at the ends - Try to make the rolls equal in size and shape. PLACE 3 ROPES PARALLLEL to one another. Beging braiding starting in center - instead of start at the ends - for more even shape -take the one of the outside ropes - folded over the center rope - then repeat movement from the opposite side! When complete it turn the dough around - and repeat the procedure from the middle - out to the other end !!! Tuck the ends UNDER - and set the dough on the prepared baking sheet! cover the dough with a towel let the dough rise about and hour - ( preheat oven 375 degrees ) crack a large egg use a fork until well blended! Use a brush to generously apply over the hallah bread ! Springle poppy seed if desired ! Place on preaheated oven !

When I was a kid, the moms at our synagogue would hold challah making events for us kids. I never appreciated it back then, but now I’m realizing how important it is to me. It’s been forever since I’ve made challah, thanks so much for the recipe!

This bread was so delicious. I will definitely be making it more now for my family because they really enjoyed it.

I remember there was this jewish center that held a summer camp, it was a day camp, and we had shabbat every friday. We always put chocolate chips in it and it was amazing. Shabbat Shalom!

I’ve made this a couple times, and my loaves keep burning on the bottom. I just tried a silicone baking sheet on the baking pan, and it worked to prevent the burn on the bottom. Just a heads up for people trying this for the first time. :D

I found this recipe a few years ago and I remember I used to make is at least two times a month, it comes out wonderfully, I found it again going through my videos I would make it again soon. I honestly don’t remember if I comment before about the video but I want to thank you now for this amazing recipe.

I made this bread and was delighted with the loaves. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe.

great video looks wonderful. to the complainers, pay better attention, the flour was CLEARLY measured out beforehand into the large container and was simply scooping out of it for the slow addition.

Looks a lot easier than i thought it would be. yum!

Great recipe, thank you!!! It was my first time to bake a challah - absolutely perfect and very delicious!!!

Awesome recipe! First time I've ever made bread and it turned out wonderful! Only had to bake mine for 28 minutes; must be the high altitude where I live. Thanks so much, will make again soon!

Awesome, I make these almost every week now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Challah is my favorite bread recipe!!! Love it.

Thank you very much. We just made this, and it came out amazing. Not too sweet as the store-bought ones tend to be. New fan!

Thank you so very much for sharing this delicious looking bread with us. I definitely want to make it.

Was perfect on my Shabbat table when eating this I feel proud to be a Jew

This recipe looks so amazing! Making my first Challah tomorrow following those instructions

The recipe placed online was a little different and uses less honey, but I'm looking forward to trying this one. It was great for Shabbat and I kept munching in it. My friend and her husband enjoyed it and it made great French Toast this morning. I'm hoping to save up leftover pieces to make a Mexican bread pudding for Passover.

Finally a video that I kneads by hand!!

I just learned how to make a better braid by starting in the middle!

Yum! I cant wait to make this at sukkot!

At least this video Gives specifics on Measurements.... I saw another Video where the person did not give Measurements on Ingredients at all.... Leaving you to guess or figure out measurements on Ingredients.... To me this video is much, much Detailed and better Explained in my opinion. Here the end Results of the Recipe looks Beautiful!!

I made this bread today, it came out perfect, simply amazing. Thank you for sharing.

thank you for showing me how to make this very tasty bread. What I really like very much is how you show stage by stage, fantastic. very similar to my Portuguese Easter Bread. I also make a braid and shape it around and then I had full eggs (as many as the people coming for Easter dinner) that will cook once in the oven. I love Challah bread very much.

Thank you for this video recipe. Shalom

Thank you for the recipe. Blessings.

Great, great! Definitely a recipe worth trying. Thanks.

I was really excited about trying this but I'm vegan. I reckon my bread fiend of a daughter would love it though so I will make it for her. Thank you so much. 💋

Thank you. Braiding from the middle, who knew. : )

Thanks for the recipe:) My family loved it

this looks sooo delicious!!

Shalom wow beautifully made and explaned very well ty ,I hope I could do this like you Shalom

Excellent question, Matt Merrill. Salt won't kill yeast entirely; it depends how much is used, and the amount needs to be balanced with the rest of the ingredients. You may stir in the salt as the last part of Step 1, once the dough starts to rise. Here's a link to the original recipe so you may review details: allrecipes.com/recipe/6760/challah-i/. Enjoy the recipe!

Amazing video with wonderful knowledge! Liked and subscribed!

Nice recipe, and easy to make

Best Challa recipe!Very delicious and super easy to make.I'd just set the oven on a lower temperature and bake it for 30 instead of 40 minutes

This recipe looks so delicious 😋 and easy I'm going to give it a try thank you for sharing this vedio

Just made this. Fantastic recipe. I may just add slightly more honey to the next batch. But these Challahs were delicious and easy to make.

It looks delicious.

The Challa becomes a spiritual food when G-d and people eating from it receive praise and blessings... these blessings are expressed while making the dough.

I need to try this.

Well done and well taught clearly enough for anyone to understand

This is the best recipe I’ve seen

Challah is the best part of the meal shabbos :--D like if you agree. I can eat an entire Challah.

wow looks beautiful

excellent recipe..thanks.

Shalom. When I make challah for each Shabbat, I use four to six ropes to braid. I also find it way easier to use my marble rolling pin to flatten the dough into a rectangle, divide it into how many strands I want and then braid afterward. It's much easier than wasting a lot of time trying to roll perfect ropes. =/

Great recipe good looking bread! Will definitely try it, thanks for sharing

Looks good!

Спасибо за рецепт!!!

Awesome video!

For anyone who is wondering-things like honey and molasses don't need to be added if you don't want to!!!! For Shabbat my mother would sometimes add honey and sometimes she wouldn't. And if you're vegan or vegetarian there's plenty of recipes!

The challah that this recipe produces is the first challah that matches what I remember challah tasting like when I was a little kid.

Beautiful 😊

Best bread ever🍞😍

Those look yummy....

So yummy

this is great with French toast ..

Awesome!

Beautiful loaves.

Merci. Thank you.

Perfect...

lovely

I made this tonight for Easter tomorrow.......TURNED OUT GREAT ! The only thing I did was reduce the floor to 6 and 1/2 as I live in Canada and I found that after 6 and 1/2 cups of flour I was good..... Its winter here and I don't know if that has anything to do with . But I am so HAPPY :)

I do apologize if the question sounds weird. But when I made this bread, it came out wonderfully! I carefully had to check how much flour I was using since I was trying to make a bigger size bread (it's a family of five with 2 extra hungry ones lol). Could I use the same recipe but with whole wheat flour? My mother is diabetic and would wonder if I can switch between the usual flour to whole wheat. Also does leaving the flour during its poofing stage longer make it more fluffier?

wow you did an amazing job! They look wonderful. You think it'll be ok if I knead the dough using my stand mixer instead? Thanks!

pan jaja es excelente mmm mmm delicioso 😋😋😋😋😋🥖🍞

How can I make challah bread using self rising flour? Awesome video. Thanks so much.

Hi mam thanx for sharing yummlicious recipe...i hv one question how much 1 cup in your measurements and also 1 tbsp and 1 tsp??

Nice

This is the best bread in the world

Thanks for sharing the recipe ,I watch some videos but they are not giving the specific measurement.

I am officially Jewish by food. They have the food game on point. Some of the stuff I just can’t do but this Bread.

What would you suggest for people who would not want to include eggs in this recipe? thanks so much

Yummy food 😋 😍

I notice when I clicked on the link for recipe, it says to use Unbleached All purpose flour. Does it have to be Unbleached?

I am baking now thanx

How long is this good for after baking? What’s the best way to store it after eating?

Thank you. I tried now it was amazing I like that in your videos you don't show faces it's nice

I applaude you on the simplicity of this video. I made these today and they turned out great. One tip for future reference is if you dont have a wooden spoon then use dough hooks that's what I used. Thanks

I'm not jewish but my grandma always used to have my brother and i celebrate the Sabbath and even though it wasn't my thing, this bread remains a super positive part of my childhood which is.. Kind of a rare thing. Imma try and make it now. Bring some of that serotonin into my new life maybe. Its not disrespectful to make this being non Jewish, is it..?

😋😋😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 me encanta

thank you

can we have measurements in metric or imperial please as cups around the world are different sizes

I first ate Challah bread at a restaurant in Florida called the Flashback Diner and have wanted to know the recipe ever since. I can't wait to give it a try. Is the braided style for appearance or can you get the same result (taste wise) with a solid round loaf if you are new to bread making? :)

The round one is v beautiful.

My mother always used sugar and butter. This sounds like they were replaced with olive oil and honey. Actually sounds like a good idea. I'm gonna try the honey but still use butter (being I've already started it lol)

nice

yum!

okey, thanks!!

I don’t have yeast. Can I use baking powder?

I just did this for good friday, it came out GOOD! seriously good!

Me encantaría esta receta en español !! Pero al parecer no creo puedan hacerlo ! O como puedo encontrarla por nombre con ustedes??

Challah one of the best bread ever thanks 🇮🇱 Shabbat Shalom.

Thank you. I wish the recipe had been to make one. I tried to make the ingredients in half, but it didn't work.

i still have to watch the braiding part every time - but the results are fabulous!

thanks

great. :)
