My go-to challah recipe

and how I like to shape it

Today I’m sharing my tried and true challah recipe. It’s classic and quite easy. I place all the ingredients into a mixer at the same time to form the dough. I also use olive oil and eggs in the recipe to make the dough rich, smooth, and easy to work with.

Watch me make the challah here!

For shaping the challah dough, I like to stick to a simple three-strand braid and then I play around with the shapes and forms to create something special. Today, I’m making a round challah for Rosh Hashanah as well as a playful wavy challah.
