Eggs You are so right, That explains why my challah came out like cake. I will make challah the same way you make it. Be back soon and let you know how it comes out. Reply
Eggs?
Dear Rosemary,
This is water Challah...hence it has no eggs. Sephardim make Hamotzi only over water Challah because eggs render bread more like a cake than a bread. Once it has eggs or juice or anything in the dough for us it becomes mesonot. Hope that answers your question...and hey...less calories!

Eggs? What happened to the eggs? Reply
Bosch Challah Mixer I would also like to know the name and model of the mixer being used as most mixers can't cope with the amount of dough in your recipe Reply
Thank you!
Thank you for your kind comments.
Michael, I learned from a woman that teaches Challah making in Jerusalem called the Challah Lady that the bracha is to be said before the rise. That is why I do it that way.
Bracha, the hand washing and the reciting HaMotzi were edited out of the final cut just to shorten the video. I also didn't show birkat hamazon after eating for the same reason.
Shifra, I am so happy the video was helpful.

bracha beautiful demo including the bracha for taking challah but then at the end is tasting - where's the washing hands and motzi? Reply
When to take challah?
I take the challah after the first rise, since this is the first point at which the dough can be baked into bread. Do you have a feeling about which is the more appropriate time to do so?
(Also, just as an aside, after my main mixer broke, I found that kneading my dough by hand to be a richer, more fulfilling experience. Tiring, but fulfilling!)

Too funny... I talk to my yeast and dough , too! One thing I add at the end of my blessing is, " May it be as if I brought this to your Holy Temple in Jerusalem..." Reply
not a good idea to put food in trash bags
Plastic trash bags for food storage
The use of plastic trash bags for food storage or cooking is not recommended by USDA "... because they are not food grade plastic and chemicals from them may leach into the food."

Decorations and Design This is a great "how to" video. The set designer produced a lovely decorated tree in the background for the "Challah Day" season. Is it an xmas tree or a Chanukah bush? Reply
Bosch Mixer
HI!
I use the Bosch mixer, it is actually an old model, so I would recommend you to get the newer one. You will love it because it holds 15 plus cups of flour. I use it to make tons of cookies too!
