How to Braid a 6 Braid Challah Bread - My 1st Video! :)



I decided to wade into the video world. On Saturday Leanne was making some delicious soup for our dinner and I decided challah bread would go great with it.

So my first video is on how to braid a 6 braid challah loaf. In the video I do not show how to make the bread itself. (if you'd like a bread making video.. let me know.. ;)

I've posted the recipe below so you can make this bread as well.

I enjoyed making the video and would like to do more of them, if anyone would be interested. If you have something you would like to see me do a video on, please let me know!

I'm new at this video making thingy and have a lot to learn.. so excuse all the little mistakes.. Ha, ha, ha... ~smile~

But for now.. here is my first video..





Challah - Makes 3 Loaves
Crystal Miller

1/3 cup warm water
2 T yeast
1 ½ cups warm water
¼ cup butter
¼ cup olive oil
1 T salt
½ cup sugar
4 eggs
7 to 9 cups flour (white, or half white/half wheat)

In a small measuring cup combine the 1/3 cup warm water and 2T yeast. Let that sit to foam up a little. In a large mixer bowl combine 1 ½ cups warm water, butter, olive oil, salt and sugar. Mix for a few minutes. Add eggs and mix well. Add yeast and water mixture.

Add flour starting with the smallest measurements. Mix until well combined. Add more flour (a little at a time) if needed so there is no dough sticking to the sides of mixer bowl and the dough is not sticky, but not too stiff.

Knead for 7 to 10 minutes in a Kitchen Aid or 4 to 5 minutes in a Bosch. Let the dough rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes to an hour.

Mix dough down again, and let rise a second time.

Then mix it down again and divided dough into 3 pieces. Braid each piece, put on a jelly roll pan, cover and let rise until doubled in size.

When ready, bake bread at 350 for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.

    1. Hi Jana, the email option is a plug in or widget that is provided by blogger... I honestly have no access to it.. my suggestion would be, if you have a past email from one of my posts you could try unsubscribing and then resubscribe.. or if not, just try to subscribe again.. Sorry I can't be of more help on this..

Thank you so much for this demo, I have been struggling with just a three strand braid, now I think I'll do the challah your way so easy when clearly explained. Many thanks again, Connie in Canada
