I made this today and it was SO GOOD!!!!!!! everyone was proud of me because I am 11 years old. I love to bake and I subscribed to your channel. This was the best bread I have ever eaten, and this was the first time I liked the crust of the bread because normaly the crust tastes gross. It came out of the oven 20 minutes ago and we already ate so much!!!. I am definitly making this again!! Thank you!
I had this bread when I was 11 and now I am almost 77 and baking it for the first time 6.000 miles from home. I have my fingers crossed it's as good as I can remember. (sorta)
I have tried so many recipes for Challah bread. Eventually my husband (Jewish man) approved for the very first time after I used your recipe. We had very nice Shabbat dinner. Thank you
Good trick is to use the same measure cup for oil and then honey. This is so that the honey can slide out of the measuring cup instead of dealing with a sticky mess.
Chałka! My Polish mum makes it during Christmas Time. It's delish with hot chocolate and homemade jam 😋 Polish cuisine has a lot of Jewish influence so makes sense
I made this it was so good! I ran out of bread flour so I used 50/50 bread flour and AP flour and it was fine. I didn’t brush with eggs, I used coconut oil on the outside then I had to leave for two hours so I couldn’t continually brush it. I came back and it was well risen. I also cut the dough into two loaves instead of 1 to share with another family. Super good, it was very tasty and stayed very soft which I wasn’t expecting from the video honestly. Thank you! I love your videos and recipes!
My family is 1st generation Hungarian and make kalács (a version of challah) every holiday. It is one of my favorite parts about family get togethers. I love seeing how you make challah and how that differs from my family's kalács recipe and techniques.
Made this today, but I veganized the recipe, and it blew.my.mind! I served it up with some kraut and fermented mustard I made using your recipes. Plus hummus, and some summer sausage-style seitan I whipped up, and I will never eat anything else again! It was amazing!! Thank you so much for the recipes! 😋
Zeke Horton celic is not the same as gluten sensitivity. Please don’t confuse the 2. Gluten sensitivity is annoying, eating gluten while having celiac can land you in the hospital.
Actually some gluten sensitivity can have psychological effects as well as physical. Doctors are just starting to understand what kinds of effects are caused by gluten and developing treatments to them, but the number of reactions are so varied and differing that it is difficult to pin down what can be done.
In Greece we call it "τσουρέκι" (tsoo-reh-kee). It's delicious, you can also flavor it with rasins or make a chocolate filling. It's SO good as french toast, or plain with a coffee/tea! Honestly, the star of the show on the Easter table 🤩
Is kneading it the same as using the stand mixer? I'm poor Edit: made it and it was delicious. A very easy bread to knead, only about 10 minutes to get smooth
Jakobus the stand mixer helps but you could most likely do this by hand, it will be a bit harder. Mix the ingredients in a bowl then turn it out onto a clean surface and knead. Most breads should be ready when you press your finger into it and the dough springs back.
I have made challah using Joshua's recipe and it works every time. This is not a complicated recipe. Take your time and enjoy making your challah. I agree that his video for braiding is not great. There are lots of other videos where you can watch how to braid more slowly. I practiced my braiding with rope until I had mastered it rather than mess up your dough. This recipe is GREAT.
This is amazing!! I've tried three different challah bread recipes and this is the only one that really worked. So light. Such a perfect egg wash. Thank you :)
AMAZING recipe. Loved your video. Made my 1st ever loaf of bread (using yeast) yesterday and your video was perfect! Made 2, they came out amazing and I gifted one. It warmed my family's heart and it was soon devoured. Thanks for your video.
Man thanks a lot! I’ve been asking you for this for a long time. U are great! And I’ve been following you since your first video. U rule! Greetings from Italy.
Super delicious. Made it yesterday and turned it into french toast as recommended this morning. I even really royally screwed up all the resting times with the baby’s nap schedule and it still came out perfect.
Josh you saved me buddy! I needed a Challah bread for a freindsgiving party. I made this without doing a trial run and nailed it on the first go! Your explanation was spot on! The braiding was definitely the hardest part. This will become our new family recipe...from the internet!
I love that you're sharing this with people. I usually only do 1 rising sessions, use some honey in the yeast starter, and use A LOT of honey in my bread. Then again I usually make them for french toast. lol!
Hi Joshua, good evening from Australia, I finally got the challah right, I made rolls from your recipe and used a bread machine from your recipe. They turned out perfect. Thank you.
this was an amazing recipe, super delicious but for those of yall who (like me) dont want to waste four egg whites, you can sub two egg yolks with 40g of butter (not melted!) hope this helps ◡̈
Nice. I do it with thinner strands and a way easier braiding see it as two times two strands of dough. Start with right two, right over left, then the left two, again right over left and the left now right one over the left of the right group. Repeat till end of strand. Right over left, right over left, left middle over right middle. Easy, the bread kitchen channel has a very clear video on how to braid dough up to nine strand. Thanks for the tip on applying the egg wash every 40 minutes, that I am going to do from now on.
@@EvaAdorable No, it's a guttural sound. The technical term for it is a voiceless uvular fricative. It's the "ch" at the end of Bach or loch. Not like batch or latch.
I tried this and oh boy this was the best thing ever!!!! Also I recommend adding the amount of salt he is adding because I reduced it and it was less salty but such a great recipe!! Trust me, it's worth the waiting^.^
I love seeing how people make their challah because it's always different. My recipe calls for 2 whole eggs and 6-7 yolks and I let it rise 6 times before I even consider braiding it. It gives my bread an interesting dense but airy texture.
After a few frustrating failed doughs I noticed that this worked: Kitchen Aid mixer speed set on 4 for 10 min. It would have been useful to see Joshua taking the dough out of the mixing ball just to see the fresh dough consistency. Thanks for this great video!
I just made this bread with some slight modifications, like using sourdough starter with yeast….it is fantastic. My kid didn’t even want to let it cool before trying to touch it. Thanks for the recipe and the video.
I'm not the only one slowly going insane with that little dot right? Visible at 8:17, but also throughout the egg wash scenes. I wiped my screen down twice because of it lol
You get softer cookies by using shortening because it has a higher melting point than butter. Margarine is next best, then butter. Then use more fat, which keeps it softer. Then use more brown sugar than white because brown keeps it soft.
I figured out how to adapt this recipe to make a rainbow "pride" challah. It's a little more complicated because you need to start with much wetter dough (I started with 425g / 3 cups). I measured out 6 X 135g portions of the wet dough (unkneaded), dyed each one a ROYGBV gel food color (wetter dough makes it easier to dye), and then added 15g flour to each to work in while kneading. Standard 6-strand plait. Works like a charm :) I also subbed 3 eggs plus one egg yolk for the egg mixture described here because I already have way too many eggwhites left from other things I've made recently. Also took the salt level down to 2 tsp and skipped the stretch and folds.
*Cries in Swiss* we have smth similar here but we don't have the honey, oil or sea salt in it. We use fresh yeast and have milk and butter in it. It's delcious we call it "zopf" which basically means braid. It's fn delicious and is traditionally eaten on sundays for breakfast.
DUDE!! I made Challah today!!! The reason I’m being so LOUD and EXCITED... this is the first time I DID NOT KILL MY YEAST!! Know what the secret was? INSTANT FRICKIN YEAST!! I have never heard of it before until I watched this!! Thank you for all your help... your a cooking God!
morehn No idea... probably. I could never tell how hot or cold the water was... BUT!! I got myself a handy dandy cooking thermometer!! LOL. never make bread without it anymore!! Water or milk SHOULD be no hotter than 110F!! (Been paying attention to other bread making videos!!)
@@DanieVargas fresh yeast doesn't need hot water, so that's why I asked. 112 is considered hot enough that you'd pull your hand away, so figure it has to be cooler than that if you couldn't take the temp. I recommend fresh if you can promise not to kill it.
Nice video! I will try it. I think you described the finger test for whether the dough is proofed backwards, however. If the dent remains, the dough is ready.
I made this challah twice, came out really good, thanks for sharing the recipe, the only think is I get a gigantic challah! 😁😁 im wondering, is it supposed to be that big or I’m doing something wrong ?!
The recipe looks gorgeous, just like all of yours I've seen so far! I've stumbled across your channel a few days ago and I have to say that I'm impressed by their quality. I'm very picky when it comes to cooking channels and you seem to have it all, you know, I appreciate the metric system (which apparently is a huge problem for Americans and you use it and I love you deeply for that), you are particularly good at explaining the recipes, I like the lighting (which has impoved massively comparing it now to your older videos :D), the length of the videos is just right, moreover, you're funny and genuine and I hope you'll keep doing these videos because you're so good at it, I'm a huge fan!

Joshua Weissman when I subscribed to you about 6 months ago you had 8,000 subscribers. In my opinion you’re the next up and coming 😉 but what do I know I’m the same age as you!
Joshua Weissman also while we are here, sine then I’ve also made your sourdough starter and have since then made sourdough from your recipe. I have then given out some of my starter to people and then just send them your way!
@@crazyisme1 Yeah man, I've seen your username around here for a good while I feel like. I greatly appreciate you holding it down and for the encouraging and kind words! Congratulations on the starter sharing, that's fantastic! :)
Josh, I'm a great fan of your work. But being an Israeli, I have to tell you this as a friend - you have to upload a new ending to the video where you just tear piece apart. You can just eat the torn piece, have it with piece of schnitzel, dip it with some spicy north African fish (Hraime) or put some Nutella on it. Whatever you prefer. Just don't slice it.

Hope you're still working at it in the kitchen a year later. Always nice to see youngsters getting into cooking.
sounds like me! I’m 11 and want to bake this for the next Shabbat ❤❤
I had this bread when I was 11 and now I am almost 77 and baking it for the first time 6.000 miles from home. I have my fingers crossed it's as good as I can remember. (sorta)
Check out Shabbat by Adeena Sussman. She's from Isreal and has a lot of Challah recipes. There are different ways to use the dough

You brought it up, now I wanna see it! Please make French Toast out of this bread!
I'm wanting to see this French Toast also. Yummy
Challah French toast is the best!
You cant imagine how good this is in a toast
It’s just regular french toast but with the bread instead shouldn’t be hard.
We use Challah for french toast for brunch on Sunday's. Trust me it's to die for

This may not be what you mean but Joshua has a great video on kitchen organization, in which he kinda gets at that!
The way i learned how to braid hair was by braiding challah as a kid.
Same!

FINALLY someone explained this recipe with PRECISION! Absolute precision. As we say in Brazil, "você é dos meus". I'll test it this friday.
He’s such a lovable little doughboy. I’ve fallen in love with your dough skills ☺️
In Greece we call it "τσουρέκι" (tsoo-reh-kee). It's delicious, you can also flavor it with rasins or make a chocolate filling. It's SO good as french toast, or plain with a coffee/tea!
Honestly, the star of the show on the Easter table 🤩
It's never acceptable to make tsoureki with raisins. Chocolate is fine.
Also, tsoureki has mastiha and mahlepi powder. Gives it a much better flavour.
Is kneading it the same as using the stand mixer? I'm poor

You know this type of bread is older than stand mixers right? If it can be done in a mixer then it can be done by hand.
Pretty much. You don't need no expensive shit to make good food
Yes, but braiding by hand actually makes a more tender dough because of the way the dough get pulled or pushed.
Was looking for this comment. 👌🏽
* stares in Jewish * did you just cut a challah in the middle?
I was thinking the same thing! 😂 But he did a good job otherwise.
@@SuzanneBaruch I mean yeah but still. Feels violated
one does not sipmly cut a challah. one has to tear it apart.
In the making of the dough can you cut the dough in half with a knife or just pull it apart?
I went as far as calling it blasphemy...we started wars for less.
I have made challah using Joshua's recipe and it works every time. This is not a complicated recipe. Take your time and enjoy making your challah. I agree that his video for braiding is not great.

Just made bro.... some of the best bread I've ever tasted. Thanks for recipe. Your bread game is tight.

Or mad about him TOTALLY MISPRONOUNCING THE NAME!

Rapunzel! Let down some more! Here other seems to have... Disappeared. *Burp*
I love seeing how people make their challah because it's always different. My recipe calls for 2 whole eggs and 6-7 yolks and I let it rise 6 times before I even consider braiding it. It gives my bread an interesting dense but airy texture.
Just made this and the flavour is amazing, brioche like in texture and taste, but the honey gives a completely different sweetness. Very nice!
“If it’s been a stubborn dough, then it deserves a time out” 😂😂

literally one of the best baking channel before.... you make it all sound soooo easy
3:11 i love how you fondle the dough there
This recipe is great. The extra eggs make this bread rich. It's soft and delicious.
My mom used to make what we called braided egg braid.
This seems to be the same recipe. So excited to make it
After a few frustrating failed doughs I noticed that this worked: Kitchen Aid mixer speed set on 4 for 10 min. It would have been useful to see Joshua taking the dough out of the mixing ball just to see the fresh dough consistency. Thanks for this great video!
When it becomes time to twist, just turn your phone upside down and follow along exactly as he does😊
I just made this bread with some slight modifications, like using sourdough starter with yeast….it is fantastic. My kid didn’t even want to let it cool before trying to touch it. Thanks for the recipe and the video.
When braiding even numbers (4, 6, 14, etc) I was taught the method is simply "top (outside) to bottom (inside), Bottom to top"
Also, over 2, under 1, but I think it only works with 6 strand loaves.
Great recipe. Thank you Josh.
I have been waiting for this ❤❤

Tip: if you want it golden all around without the crevices, half way through the bake add another coat of eggwash.

Joshua Weissman also while we are here, sine then I’ve also made your sourdough starter and have since then made sourdough from your recipe. I have then given out some of my starter to people and then just send them your way!
@@crazyisme1 Yeah man, I've seen your username around here for a good while I feel like. I greatly appreciate you holding it down and for the encouraging and kind words! Congratulations on the starter sharing, that's fantastic! :)

Joshua: So imagine, you take rapunzel and a loaf of bread and you put it together. What do you get?

I've tried your recepi and it is delicious ! Thank you so much !
Josh, I'm a great fan of your work.
But being an Israeli, I have to tell you this as a friend - you have to upload a new ending to the video where you just tear piece apart. You can just eat the torn piece, have it with piece of schnitzel, dip it with some spicy north African fish (Hraime) or put some Nutella on it. Whatever you prefer. Just don't slice it.
Shabbat Shalom! In the process of making this right now...Every recipe from Joshua Weismann I have tried has always come out absolutely incredible!
Blood Flour??? :P This is why I love you, no editing that out. :D
Blood floor is for mazah not challch!
