Four Braid Challah

how to do a four-braid challah

[@rachelashworth7314]

FINALLY. I needed someone to verbally say their numbering system. I was having so much trouble following along with people who are just like “take this one and cross over that one” - this is the best four strand tutorial I have found! Thank you!

[@rivkisilver]

Hooray! I'm thrilled! Thank you!

[@elizabethallemong1446]

#2 over and up and #1 down in the middle. Good mantra! Thanks!

[@soheilamakani]

God bless you. I finally learned the 4 braid. Thanks my dear❣

[@evakachline8532]

THANK YOU. You did a wonderful presentation to explain this 4-braid. This is the best presentation on you tube.

[@rivkisilver]

Thank you so much!

Bardzo ładnie to pokazałaś. Teraz będę robił nie tylko na 3 i 5, ale także na 4. Wielkie dzięki -:)

FINALLY! Thank you!

I like this one it looks like a round twitch robes. Number right to left 1-2-3-4, then 2 up and 1 go between 3 & 4 as always to finish. Numbers are changed currently 1 is up left to right 2-3-4, then 2 up and 1 go between 3 & 4

Nice! I can’t believe how hard 4 braid has been for me to learn. This might be the way that finally works for my little new-to-challah brain.

[@rivkisilver]

I hope it helps!

[@wexler14]

Thank you! I had the hardest time figuring this out before your video. Now I don’t lose my place halfway through the loaf, lol!

I 've seen a few videos for 4 braided challah and the final look are always different. as far it goes yours is the easiest in techniqe. thank you ! I love challah bread. do you have a recipe ?

[@LittleKosherLunch]

M Gomez I’m totally devoted to a recipe I got from Mandylicious Challah on Instagram. After so many failures, it’s *the one* for me! You can find the measurements on my blog and I have a dough making and round challah video up on my channel from September. Happy baking!

[@rivkisilver]

I'm so glad it was helpful! Here is a recipe I use a lot www.thekosherchannel.com/water-challah-recipe.html

[@keeganchung]

Great explanation

[@rivkisilver]

Thanks!

[@dnnrod1807]

Curious how many inches long would you say each piece is ???

[@rivkisilver]

Probably between 8-10 inches.

[@krystalbaremore7627]

It gets slightly confusing that your numbering changes directions. You number then from left to right, then switch from right to left.

[@rivkisilver]

I can see how that could be confusing - sorry! It's how I was taught, but if you want to keep the numbers the same, you could think of it this way: Start by placing strand number 2 up and then place strand 1 in between strands 3 & 4 Then take strand 4 and place it up, and then place strand 2 in between strands 3 & 1 Then take strand 3 and place it up, and then place stand 4 in between strands 2 & 1 Then take strand 1 and place it up, and then place strand 3 in between strands 2 & 4 (and now we're back to the original step) Then take strand 2 and place it up, then place strand 1 in between strands 3 & 4 I don't know if that's more or less confusing. Good luck!! Let me know if you have any other questions. Hopefully I won't take a year to reply next time ;)
