1. Knead your dough
2. Measure your Challah
The Mitzvah of hafrashat Challah (separating Challah) divides raw dough into three categories: Small, Medium and Large. A small amount of dough (less than 2 lb. 11 oz. of flour) does not require the Mitzvah. A medium amount of dough (more than 2 lb. 11 oz. but less than 3 lb. 11 oz.) requires the Mitzvah, but without the recitation of the Separating-the-Dough blessing. A large amount of dough (more than 3 lb. 11 oz.) requires the Mitzvah and the Separating-the-Dough blessings.
3. Burn your Challah
See that little lump of dough you just cut loose from your main batch? Wrap it in silver foil and over-bake it till it’s black. Then throw it out. Congratulations--you’ve done the Mitzvah.
