Here is my challah recipe for everyone asking!
ABBEY’S FAMOUS CHALLAH
1 cup warm water (105-110 F)
1 tbsp instant yeast
3 tbsp sugar
1 whole egg
2 egg yolks
1 tbsp vegetable oil
¼ cup melted butter
¼ cup white sugar
5 tbsp honey
3.5 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
Topping:
1 beaten egg mixed with 2 tsp honey
Sweet:
2.5 tbsp all purpose flour
1.5 tbsp white sugar
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp butter, very soft
OR
Savoury:
Sesame seeds
1.Combine warm water with sugar and mix. Add yeast, stir and sit for 5-10 min.
2.To a stand mixer bowl fitted with the paddle, add eggs, oil, butter and mix. Then add sugar, honey, and the bloomed yeast. Gently mix.
3.Add 1 cup of flour to the mix along with the salt and mix until combined. Then add remaining, about ½ cup at a time. Mix until combined, then change to the dough hook. Kneed with dough hook for 5 min on medium.
4.Transfer to a well floured surface and kneed manually for another 5 minutes. It is a very sticky dough but try to add the least amount of flour you can to still work with it.
5.Put the dough in an oiled bowl and cover for 2 hours (should double) in a warm spot.
6.Divide in half, and then each half into three strands. Braid into 2 loaves. Put each loaf onto a baking tray lined with parchment and cover with a towel in a warm place for 1 hr.
7.Preheat oven to 350 F.
8.Brush the loaves with egg honey mixture. Mix together the flour, sugars and butter for the streusel and top one loaf with that. And sprinkle the other one with sesame seeds. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature is 190 F. Do not over bake!!!
Thank you so much.
I have to make this!! 🤤
Can I just say - I so appreciate how you respect your children’s privacy. Children are human beings with rights of their own and it’s so refreshing to see someone in a public career who is careful about respecting that. Kudos to you! You sound like a great mom :)
Agreed! I love this about Abbey!
I love how much you advocated for yourself at the hospital. That was kind of the highlight of the story for me!
Thank you!
Yeah I found that detail very interesting. How did you know he was an anesthesiologist? If I was in that much pain I wouldn't have taken the time to read his name on his/her white coat. Please do share how you knew he was an anesthesiologist?
Bindiya the midwife told me he was outside as she knew I really wanted help and she saw the opportunity so I was like yes yes pls help me lol 😂
That moment when you were still working when you were in labour...thats a youtube dedication!!
Thank you!
So TRUE! I can't believe she was cooking Jewish bread during the last week before she was due! She has some incredible determination!
how does this gal not have 10mil + subscribers? she was literally half working and half giving birth to a child. youtube - do your thang
Haha thank you
I know, right!! She has like 34 dislikes on such an incredible video!! WTF...those haters....always bringing down the brave good TH-camrs.
Giving misinformation, fat shaming, diet shaming people. Should I continue?
Congratulations abbey, I’m so happy for you and your family! You have helped me so much while in recovery. I hope you are enjoying life with a new little addition to your family, love you!!!!!
I'm so glad, thank you!
Streusel bits are 1. basically a drug and 2. have no calories if they fall off the bread. I don't make the rules
😂😂
Facts. Streusel bits are actual crack.
As an expectant mom (16w), all of your pregnancy/motherhood content has been so informative and reassuring to me. I don't want to request more content if you think it's infringing on your fam' privacy, but seriously I will take all the advice I can get!!
I'm so glad it is helpful!
CONGRATS AGAIN!!!! I love that you documented everything!! I LOVE FOLLOWING YOUR JOURNEY
Thank you ❤️
Totally agree!! Women like me would never want to share this with relatives and she is sharing her story to pregnant women ALL OVER the world who has TH-cam accessibility.
Congratulations! Loved the loosey goosey format and so glad you are taking it as it comes this time round.
Thanks!
That breast pump. I have never laughed so hard in my life. I love you for coming on camera like that. 😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Absolutely loved this update! It's nice to hear about your real experience. No BS just you explaining what you were thinking and how you felt. You just feel so down to earth and real and I love it! Thank you for your honesty and CONGRATULATIONS again 🥰😘
Thank you! ❤️
Mazal tov Abbey! How exciting it is to have your second baby. There is absolutely nothing better (or harder) than motherhood. Enjoy your boys :)
Thank you ❤️
I love vlogs styles like this! I didn’t know you were Jewish! So cool.
She cooks with kosher salt duhhh
She has said she is Irish before. I think she married a Jewish man and converted.
Thanks! And thanks for the feedback 👍
Heidi H yep! Irish and English and married a Jewish man and converted before we were even engaged correct
@@AbbeysKitchen Yes, you don't look like you are of Jewish decent.
Were you not very religious before? I could never convert, personally, so am always interested in those that have.
TH-cam had me watched 6 commercials in total with no options to skip ads. 🤔 it must know how much I like Abbey’s videos to be so indulgent 🦦
Thank you! Sorry about that
Congratulations. I love your transparency and sharing your experience.
Thank you ❤️
If your kid grows up wanting to be active and healthy, just let them. That's really the best advice I can give
Thanks for sharing
I don't know if you'll see this, but finding your videos was the best thing that ever happened to me. I had an eating disorder and you helped me so much. I was restricting and I was unhappy. You introduced me to Intuitive Eating. Now, I'm much better.
This is probably not the video to write this, because it's about labor and I'm a man lol, but I really wanted to thank you.
Thank you for sharing, I'm so glad it was helpful ❤️
I love this style of content Abbey. Keep up the good work and enjoy the time with your littles. They grow sooo fast
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it
I love your vlog style videos. You’re such a natural vlogger💜 congratulations on the new addition 🥰❤️
So glad. Thank you! ❤️
As someone who is 16 weeks into an unplanned pregnancy and dealing with a lot of past childhood trauma as well as fears surrounding birth and motherhood, I appreciate this video. I’m so upset watching it, crying and panicking. I don’t know anything. Birth is so scary. Thank you for sharing though, it’s good to be aware of other people’s experiences. Hope you are doing well post partum.
Thank you, I'm glad the video was helpful for you
I am so scared to give birth 😬😬. However, the experience is beautiful 😍😍 your doing great mommy!!
Thank you!
I'm not sure if you've given birth before - but I had my first child recently and it wasn't as bad/painful as I had imagined birth would be. There's so much adrenaline and excitement :)
I love this kind of blog videos!
I am getting ready for being a mum and it is amazing to follow your journey (with all the real TMI included!)
Big hug from Spain :)
Thank you!
Loved this one so much!! I'm a sucker for labor/birth stories, and you told yours so well. And yes to vlog-style videos!!!!
Thanks for the feedback!
Congrats! I’ve just started watching your videos and I love them! I’ve struggled with ED’s for many years and your videos have been a great inspiration for me. Thank you for all that you do.
P.S. I love your floral wall paper and the challah looks absolutely amazing! I have two boys and there is nothing better. Enjoy your boys. ❤️
I'm so glad it is helpful! Thank you ❤️
Loved this video! So shocked that you got it edited so soon after your delivery!!! Hope you are able to enjoy all the magic moments.
Thank you!
Did dates put you into labor? I have a 1 week old and I swear I tried some dates and contractions started about 30 minutes later. Coincidence maybe?
I have such a similar birth story! My second boy was born on 2 September and labour was 3h15min from start to finish. I was also in denial because the contractions were coming too fast and I couldn't get hold of my husband, as he was working far away.
My friend ended up taking me to hospital, which is 2 hours away, and it was the most excruciating car ride, being strapped in and not being able to move. When I got there it was 20 minutes of pushing and he was born.
My husband only arrived an hour later!
Congratulations! Your boys are so lucky to have such a good mom.
Thank you ❤️
Wow, I'm so in awe! I'm a single parent. I couldn't imagine the newborn exhaustion and also having an active toddler. You deserve a crown 👑
Thank you ❤️
@@AbbeysKitchen you're welcome
Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience with us. Congratulations!!! Do you have a recipe linked anywhere for the challah?
Thank you! I just posted and pinned it in the comments!
I love that you shared this- so raw and real! LOVE IT
The little cries broke my heart😭😭😭 so precious, congratulations!!!
Thank you! ❤️
Congratulations! Glad things went pretty well overall (stubborn placenta not withstanding). Hope the feeding continues to go easier this time!
Thank you! ❤️
I love the vlog style Abbey! And congratulations on your new bundle of joy!! Im so happy for you!!!
Thank you! ❤️
I have tremendous amount of respect for you for being open about things people don't talk about like nipple stimulator and the dilator machine pump thing you got from Germany. (You actually introduced me to those items, so THANK YOU!!) Giving us women a play by play of your labor and pregnancy story is incredibly personal and private . Not every mom has the balls to share her story to the public. I commend you for that. I did not know that you can feel the scraping on the inside when the OBGYN pulls out the placenta. I learned more about pregnancy from you than in my reproduction chapter of my biology textbook. I am genuinely grateful for having met you thanks to social media! I hope you welcome me with open arms as your new subscriber!! You are such an amazing 2 in 1 role model for a mom and nutritionist!! I just want to reach out from my phone and hug you!!!!! 🤗❤🤗❤🤗
Thank you! I'm so glad it is helpful
Congratulations Abbey!! Wow what a power mama!! Hope you and your sweet baby are having a great start together. Thank you for sharing this so openly ✨🌻
Thank you! ❤️
Well that made me cry!
Love the vlog style. You have a great natural personality, I went from liking your content to wishing we were friends!!
Congratulations on the joyous addition to your family! While I don’t have children myself, I so enjoyed hearing your birth story and was moved by the sibling bonding. All the best, Abby!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
Loved this!! And congrats 🎊😊
Congrats! I've missed so much content since TH-cam no longer sends email notifications. So happy for you and your family.
Thank you for sharing this intimate experience, and congratulations! so good to hear an honest and truthful review instead of the usual bs.
Glad it was helpful!
Congratulations Abbey! It’s wonderful to hear that everyone is doing well 😘😉🤓👩🏼💻
Thank you! ❤️
For those who don't have a pump, just manually stimulating the nipples works too. I've had four kids and did nipple stimulation for #4 but he was the only one that arrived on time. The others were 2+ weeks late
Thanks for sharing!
Being a woman is a super power.
Goodluck with the little newcomer!!! I started tearing up when you described the brothers first meeting.
You are such an amazing, strong and inspirational mother! Thank you for sharing your story with us :) good luck in the craziness!
Thank you! ❤️
Congratulations to you and your family! Great birth story with a wonderful outcome! I always felt the same about siblings, and my three children are best of friends (now 23, 20 and 16). Love your vlogs, take care of yourself and new baby boy.
Thank you! And thanks for sharing
Thank you for the vlog and all the information about birth and preperation in general! 🙏 So interesting! Love to see the snack ideas as well. Hope you get rest and do a break from work and TH-cam :) Congratulations 🌼🌷
Thank you ❤️
With my first, I also had a retained placenta. The scraping inside and belly massage hurt sooo bad!
I am currently expecting my second and can totally relate to being on such a strict schedule the first time! I ran myself ragged. I look forward to being more care free this time around and truly embracing what newborn life is about: rest, loving on my children, and some chaos. ;)
For sure. Congratulations!
Congratulations Abbey! Best of wishes to you and your family :) Because it‘s kinda the right time for it, can you maybe make a video on how do deal with body dismorphia and weight gain/body changes that happen during pregnancy and after giving birth? - When you want to do videos again of course, take all the time you need to recover and feel up to it! Thanks so much for your content, it helps me in the little moments of every day where I still struggle a lot.
Thank you! I discuss that topic a bit in this video: th-cam.com/video/Tqs9v9sMTlI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AbbeySharp
Abbey you are so lovely 💗
Congratulations on your second baby 💙💙 The love of my life is my beautiful daughter we adopted at 9 months old. So I've never given birth in the organic sense, so absolutely love hearing birth stories 💗
Thank you! And thanks for sharing
Congratulations Abbey!! So happy for you and your family. I wanted to ask you for the dish how much rice to stir fry ratio do you recommend we take? 2/3 1/3?
Whatever you prefer but in general if we’re talking balance I like to think about approx about 1/4 of your bowl / cup in starch, 1/4 protein and 1/2 veg
Abbey Sharp thank you I will start doing that.
I am so very happy for you, Abby. Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you ❤️
I tried so many things and nothing worked - I ended up having my son 2 weeks after my due date after 3 days of medical induction (was induced because in my post-date ultrasound my amniotic fluid was very low - my placenta was starting to fail because I was so far from my due date). It was honestly so discouraging feeling like I put in so much effort and couldn't go into labour on my own (and wasn't even progressing much on synthetic oxytocin so far after my due date). I envy women that go into spontaneous labour on their own or go into labour closer to their due date. Thanks so much for documenting your story :)
I totally get it! That was me with baby 1!!! I did everything and was induced twice! Ugh 😩 I was SHOCKED I went into labour early, and fast!
@@AbbeysKitchen yey! Gives me hope for a better labour experience with future babies LOL
LOVE this style of video from you 😊 many congrats and lots of love to you and your family
Thank you! ❤️
Congratulations! Welcome to the world, Baby O!
Thank you!
CONGRATS ABBY OMG IM SO HAPPY FOR U AND UR FAM!! I wish I could get pregnant but I have a genetic disorder called 22Q/DiGeorge Syndrome and I would highly recommend u and anyone else research why women who have this genetic disorder can’t get pregnant. In short, I can’t bc if I do, than I’ll pass on the disorder to my child, and they might die and I do not want that child to go what I had to go thru, which was hell!! I’m also on Birth Control bc of hormone imbalances as well. I’m pro-both meaning I support pro life and pro choice women, and I feel like more ppl should support both and not choose a side bc if u don’t want to choose a side, then u don’t have to. Anyways thanks for reading! 😊
Thank you! And thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing this with us!! I absolutely love your channel. Congrats on baby!!❤
Thank you! ❤️
Congratulations!❤❤❤ Sending lots of love and happiness to you and your sweet family. So exciting to welcome home your sweet baby O.
Thank you! ❤️
Gosh sending so much love to you! I had retained placenta's with both my girls and I did haemorrhage with my second and I needed a blood transfusion. I struggled so much with breast feeding and in the end it didn't work out so we went onto formula. Look after yourself and sending so much love to you and your boys xxx
Thanks for sharing your experience, and thank you!
Two months late to comment, but! Have you tried the gold box gochujang? It's made with brown rice, if I recall correctly. It's sooo good. I don't know if it's "better for you," but the Korean grandma at my local store said it was. I just think it tastes the best. It's only like $1 more where I live, and since we use it so sparingly, I've never looked back.
Congratulations this is so wonderful 😊 I really enjoyed this and I definitely want to try some of these options to induce labor my next pregnancy, and just see what happens!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful
Congratulations! Love hearing birth stories and I'm glad you and Baby O are healthy!
Thank you! ❤️
Congrats Abbey!! Welcome to the world Baby O.
Thank you ❤️
I love the wallpaper in the background at the beginning of the video! @Abby Sharp what is this wallpaper called and where did you buy it?
Congrats 🥳👶Love your Videos 😍can you review Sarah Lemkus?
On the list!
I literally have the same Gochujang here at home. MY FAVORITE.
Yum!
I love your regular content, but I'm a total birth hippy 😂 so thank you for sharing! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Thank you! ❤️
Congrats mama! I have two little boys and a baby girl! There’s something so precious about brothers! I love being a boy mama! ❤️
Thank you ❤️for sure!
I’m 32 weeks pregnant with my first child and after this video I’m more scared of labour than ever 😞
I love that you share your experience and are really open to talk about everything! Makes all these other moms who struggle at one point or another feel better for sure (even though I am not a mom it makes me feel better to see that there is very rarely a „perfect“ birth journey) :-)
So glad it is helpful
Congratulations!!! Thank you for sharing. This is so helpful for me and, i bet, many other birthing persons. Good luck with EVERYTHING!
Thank you! ❤️
Congrats on the baby! Your little guys are lucky to have you as a mom. :)
Thank you! ❤️
I don’t think episiotomy is very common anymore. Most of the stuff I read pre-baby said that doctors prefer you tear since that seems to heal faster...
Now I wanna make challa.. Rosh Hshana challa with honey is my favorite and it’s just around the corner! Great vlog 😍
Yum!
Congratulations! Welcome to the world baby O 🎉
Thank you! ❤️
Congratulations! So happy for you and your family ❤️
Thank you! ❤️
What probiotic would you recommend..I tend to bloat alot and started eating probiotic yogurt which is helping but is eating yogurt ok everyday? I remember you mentioned in your videos from last year you took a probiotic. Which one please and thanks:)
Wonderful. Congratulations and much health for you in recovery!
This is your best vlog in my opinion. Great job!
Thank you! ❤️
Watching this was eye opening for me. I’m 12 weeks pregnant as a first time mom.... so this is educational!
Glad it is helpful!
Babe you are a champ! Congrats on the new baby!!!
Thank you! ❤️
Congrats Abbey!!! 💕
Thank you!
congratulations i have so much respect for moms 🥺❤️❤️❤️
Thank you ❤️
I really LOVE this style of video!
So glad!
Yes yes Abbey more vlogs please... And congratulations for baby O
Thanks! ❤️
Great video, and congratulations!!
Haven’t even gotten 20 seconds in and need to say I LOVE your Ellie Cashman wallpaper!! 😍
Thank you 🙏🏻
Omg congrats you’re so awesome making a video of this😁🤗
Thanks!
Wow, that's an insanely short amount of time to dilate from 5-10 cm. OMG!
I know!
I loved this style of video!! ❤️
So glad!
Congratulations on your new bundle of joy!!
Thank you!
Congratulations!! I always love hearing these stories 😊😍
Thanks! So glad
Would be great if you would make a video about the willow pump. I am thinking about purchasing one and would like to know if it's worth the money
Thanks for the suggestion
Love the rawness and honestly. Thankyou. Xox
Glad that was helpful
This whole video need the consult your doctor for any of this advice like was said with the widener tool at the 5minute mark. FYI don’t need a specific tool to achieve that same result, use perineal massage.
I’ve named your children Ethan and Oden only because when you say “E” or “O” that’s what my brain tells me lol anyway Congratulations momma, I hope breastfeeding works out for you!!❤️❤️❤️
So cute! Thank you ❤️
@@AbbeysKitchen I think it is amazing how you perfectly balance what you have decided to share and not share with the public via social media. Abbey, you are seriously super smart!!
I had Elliot and Oliver in my head haha
I automatically go to Ethan as well ! Haha
Best vlog ever!! You might find the hakaa pump useful now that your milk is in, it’s a bit more gentle than an electric pump. It catches your let down when your feeding. More of this please! xxx
I have it!!
Love Love Love the unplanned vlog style :)
Thanks!
Birth stories are women’s equivalent of men’s war stories. Even in a “normal” delivery there is plenty of discomfort and pain and frankly, I never found the idea of a baby at the end of it all that comforting. My first labor was very long and all back labor; I was very grateful for the epidural. By my last pregnancy I was using hypnosis and it was fabulous, with very little pain and no need for epidural or anything else. All I can say is Hurrah for modern medicine. Most people no longer even have any idea about how dangerous child birth has been for most of human history. Good luck. Wishing we could bottle those best Mommy moments.
Thank you! ❤️
