Really enjoyed the video - particularly the 4 arm braid technique!

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

Hi Akshay! Thanks so much for checking out my video! I hope you have a great start to the New Year and Happy Baking!

This is the most delicious bread, period!! To eat every morning reheated with some butter! It's the Best❤

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

Oooohh now that's the perfect way to start the day!! I'm so happy to hear you enjoy this bread 🥰 Be well and happy baking!

[@travolta91]

wow, this looks great! Can I use all purpose flour instead?

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

Hi Fairuz! That's a great question. Yes, you can totally use all purpose flour instead. That's actually preferable for a more tender crumb but I just use bread flour because that's the only white flour I have at home. If you give it a try, I'd love to know how it goes for you!

Hi Rosie, I made this bread super delicious!! Thank you very much!!🌸

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

That's awesome, Olivia! I'm so glad you tried it! ❤

...HI ROSIE...may I have your opinion on two things, please---would it be okay to substitute coconut sugar for regular sugar, and to replace some, maybe a quarter or half, of the white flour with either spelt flour or white wholewheat flour? I love your videos! Thank-you so much!

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

Hi Judy! Thanks for your kind words and those are really great questions. Yes, you can totally use coconut sugar and replace up to half of the white flour with whole grain flour. I've done half with sprouted whole wheat flour and it's absolutely delicious!

[@judywardd]

@@RosiesKitchenAdventures I appreciate your kind answer, Rosie---thank-you! 🌹

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

@@judywardd Love the rose, Judy! Thank YOU!

[@DanaFreerDF]

Do you think I could make this bread with sprouted spelt or sprouted whole wheat? I only eat whole grains. Thank you for the great recipes!

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

Hiii! That's a great question and yes, you can totally use sprouted grain flour! You might need a tiny bit more water so you can start with the amount of water in this recipe but feel free to add 1 Tbs of extra water at a time if the dough feels too dry.

How long is last proof at room temperature? Great recipe Shalom from Alaska ❤️❄️⛷️✡️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

Hii again! The last proof at room temperature is about 1-2 hours till it's at least 50% larger in volume. My room temperature is about 66-68 deg F so if your home is cooler or warmer than that it could be longer or shorter. I hope that helps!

@@RosiesKitchenAdventures Thank you

[@sunshineseaandvitamind8620]

Nice recipe! Just a tip don't mix on top of weighing scales otherwise they will malfunction.

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

Thanks for checking out my video and that's an excellent point! Thank you for sharing!

[@barbaracluse5874]

What size bread pan are you using?

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

Ah! Thanks for asking, Barbara! It's 9X5.

[@monica4200]

Can the amount of sugar be halved? Thank you.

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

Hi Rosa! Yes, challah tends to be a sweet dough but you can definitely use half the amount of sugar and adjust to your preferences! Have a wonderful weekend!

[@elainestupp2275]

Can you use instant yeast instead? If so, would you add it to the liquid ingredients or dry ingredients?

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

Hi Elaine! I've never tried it with instant yeast but it should work. You could add it to either the wet or dry ingredients since instant yeast doesn't have to "activate" in liquid. However, it might be easier to add it to the wet ingredients like I do with the yeast in the video so you don't have to mix the dry ingredients separately. You can use the same amount of yeast but your rise times for the first and last rises at room temperature might end up being a bit shorter (~15-20 minutes less) since instant yeast is usually more active than active dry yeast. I usually look for about 50% increase in volume in the first rise and about 1/3 increase in volume in the last rise. If you give it a try, please let me know how it goes!

[@tiffanywrightskinnycoach8767]

What yeast do u use? Also, what is difference between live yeast and what u use

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

Hii Tiffany! Thanks for checking out my video and that's a great question. I'm using active dry yeast here, which is the dry yeast that's commonly sold in little packets. It's a dormant yeast that doesn't require any regular feedings, unlike sourdough starter which requires regular feedings for maintenance. I hope that helps!

[@Billytachon12345]

Where can i find the recipe written?

[@RosiesKitchenAdventures]

Hii Billy! Thanks so much for checking out my video and all the ingredients are in the description box. I apologize I wish there was an easier way to share the written recipe. Be well and happy baking!
