How To Make Braided Challah Bread

[@rkmugen]

2:16 Agreed... Thick-cut, day-old (or at most, 2-day old) Challah bread (kept in a closed paper bag) has the best texture for making French toast, or any type of bread pudding.

[@MTMF.london]

Yup, that's how I do my Special French toast - always with day-old Challah - then drenched with real maple syrup.

Traditional Jewish bread baked by la raza, love it! He was soooo nervous until he dropped the bowl and the voice said, “it’s ok!”. Then he was rocking, cracking little jokes but not too often. I like this guy, seems like a cool cat!

[@neutechnica]

Love this. Classic NYC cross cultural pollination.

my man looks filipino, if it wasn't for the accent i would've been fooled

[@classified773]

Periodt! I love to see it, and recently I’ve met Latino Jews (convert and born Jews) they’re from NY and it’s lit!

[@LisaNaomi24]

I really liked this video. Challah is a beautiful, delicious bread. The gentleman seems very down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and invested in his work; which he seems to enjoy very much. Also, I love that he wasn't wasteful and gives little tips on how not to be in the process.

[@al145]

He makes it look really easy. Studio must've smelled really good that day.

[@emibelledame1]

I love his personality...such a good teacher!!!! Makes me want to go to NYC just to try this bread.

[@mikanadav1488]

I love how he talks about Shabbat and Rosh Hashanah, he obviously has respect for what he does and he knows the culture of what he makes🙂

Do you have the recipe?

[@lorassorkin]

I enjoyed watching a pro make challah. I've been working on making challah the last few weeks, so naturally I clicked for the recipe. The written recipe is frustratingly very different from what Darwin did in the video. 🤔

[@hello.itsme.5635]

This is really really similar to a German Hefezopf. I made it a couple of times. It's f..ing delicious.

[@suzannebert3652]

I was thinking Swedish coffee braid, or the Finnish bread called pulla

[@EVLA8]

The only difference, Hefezopf is sweet bread. While Challah bread isn't.

Would it be wrong to make the festival Challah during un-festive times? or should I wait for a holiday to gift?

[@gab.lab.martins]

Challah is eaten every shabat. It's part of the ritual dinner, every week. I think you might be confusing it with the round challah, which is only made during rosh hashanah to symbolise the beginning of a new cycle. Same recipe, different shape. Long challah is everyday bread.

[@LadywatchingByrd]

Isn't life worth celebrating?

[@hulkoliver01]

As a proud Jew, that looks fucking good.

[@gab.lab.martins]

I just went to their website, and although I can't find any certification, they seem to be a dairy-only bakery. They have lox, but no meat whatsoever. I was 100% expecting to see a challah & bacon sandwich, but I'm very pleasantly surprised. Vice didn't fuck up this time.

[@andrewlazar4804]

@@funkymunky No, not typically. But people do make vegan challah though.

Recipe on the website, how to roll the strands, 2-3 strand braised which I like most.

[@theview7169]

The recipe provided is not exact replication of the video. Now I wonder if the ingredients are given in correct amounts. One of the discrepancies is that he said that the flour is the combination of all purpose flour and bred flour. However the recipe does not reflect that. That makes me think that the viewers will not be able to replicate the results.

[@sarahraymod1901]

You are right

[@joshuabobbert7872]

[@elliereingold5647]

Hot tip: If you wanna make your challah really authentic, add honey. Like a shitload of it. Only non-Jewish owned bakeries make non-sweet challah ;)

[@elliereingold5647]

Hi! I would describe the dough as elastic and smooth. It shouldn’t be wet but avoid adding too much flour. If it’s really sticky try kneading it more before adding flour. some stick is ok. You only have to let it rise once before braiding but it’s a good idea to let it rise for another 30 min after braiding. Good luck on your challah journey! :)

[@kobyweiner7816]

It originates from ancient Judaism when it was baked in the first and second Jewish temple thousands of years ago. The tradition is upheld because Jews eat it on Shabbat and the biblical commandment to take a dough offering for the priests.

A great baker and recipe but someone needs to smack the cinematographer or camera person upside the head. When showing intricate details on how to braid the picture keeps changing.

We call it "challah" not challah bread.

[@classified773]

Pay mind to his accent - Spanish speakers silence “c” in a “ch” word. So it sounds like “Hallah” instead of “Challah” - kh-allah. The “Kh” took me awhile to practice as in the Arabic language the use of “Kh” is common too and the emphasis of the KH like “Khalaas” (enough) took my breath for awhile.

This is total cultural appropriation, if this guy wants to make Chala that's cool but could Vice not find a single Jew who can show how to make it? PS: everything this man showed is how you would do it if it was your job in a factory, learn how to make homemade Chala, it's so much better.

Tsoureki is a sweet bread. Challah is not a sweet bread.

[@LeCheckmate]

There are tons of different braided breads, just cause they look similar doesn't mean that they're the same. Like, in Switzerland we've got sweet Hefezopf that's similar to greek Tsoureki and Bärner Züpfe which is similar to Challah. But still not the same.

[@IRGhost0]

@@jadelee9299 milk itself is kosher. what you’re referring to is pareve, where no dairy or meat is incorporated into challah.
