I've tried your challah recipe already and I love the taste, however I think I can't get the baking right. Can you help? Since I currently have to live away by myself I make mini challot (I use around 100g of dough for each) so that I can have two whole loaves for each Shabbat meal and not waste too much. I do three strand braids or four strands, usually long (like the letter ו) or round for Rosh Hashana. I feel like I always overbake them because I am scared of underbaking them. Can you give me a tip how long to bake them and at what temperature? Thank you so much for this video and all the other ones. You make me feel like I have a family or friend who understands me and I'm not alone. I am very grateful. B"H ❤

I enjoy your sharing all aspects of your traditional way of life. Living close to your faith with everything you do gives you the joy that is obviously comes across in your videos. Praying for Israel at this time.

[@TeeTee-gr4ir]

The various analogies of you explaining why you pray a specific prayer with each ingredient was my favorite part!

[@frumitup]

Mine too because I love to add meaning to my actions ❤️❤️ how about you?

[@TeeTee-gr4ir]

@@frumitup Absolutely! Bacteremia sepsis has fried my brain a little bit but the first example off the top of my head is my photography. I spend a lot of time in the hospital or various doctor's offices and I firmly believe that the staff does not get enough gratitude or credit. So I print up some of my scenic photos and when I pick up the order of them, I take each individual one in my hands and I pray. "Lord Gott, I don't know who this photo will wind up in the hands of, but I ask You to bless them." One of my all time favorite things to do is that at every shift change, I ask each nurse and each CNA to choose an extra photo. Then I jot a little prayer, a Scripture verse, or simply a note of encouragement on the back of it and have them give it to a patient that is having a particularly rough time. (If they desire to participate, obviously. Over the years, I've had two people decline to participate and I certainly understand! It's not for everyone.) I figure it's win-win-win. I get to be reminded to pray for the other patients, the other patient gets a little reminder that a stranger cares and is praying for them, and the staff member gets to be the person to facilitate God's love. I hope this does not sound prideful, as it certainly is not meant to be. It is just the first example off the top of my head and I LOVE doing it. So much love and prayers to you and your family tonight, sweet Sara!

[@jeniphirtaylor-mcintire81]

I love challah! I teared up when you explained the deep spiritual moment of separating the challah, including us in your prayers. You are so generous to share your challah recipe and methods, as well as your prayers from the heart. I will be gathering my courage (I am not a baker!) soon, to try your recipe--it looks so tempting. Thank you, Sara. To you and anyone reading, know that today you are so loved!

[@vikkifarra867]

As I watched you making your Challah I was amazed at the beauty of the dough. I used to be a baker and the bakery I worked at was known in the local Jewish community for the Challa we made. We were not a Jewish bakery but we did ask the local temple to come and make sure we didn't do anything that would render the Challa not kosher or unusable for the local Jewish community. They gave us their blessing and would come in on the days we were making the Challa. My favorite part of making the Challah was braiding it! That was so much fun! And making the round Challa was a joy! Thank you for giving me a recipe for Challa again! The bakery closed years ago and I lost the recipe we used. I just know I love Challa but I am happy that I can make Challah for my Jewish friends who are baking challanged. Thank you!

[@philmccallum]

I hope it's okay for a man to make challah, because I did today. I have a life goal: “to become famous with my grandkids.” I have 5. So I thought we could return to Shabbat. My mom was Sephardic, but we did not celebrate Shabbat. I feel it's time. The bread is braided and rising. I'm glad I figured out how to play KZbin at 25% speed to figure out the braid. I love Challah. Oh, yes I did pray at the start for all to go well. Here’s hoping!

[@shellybasse2783]

I loved this video. I have always assumed that there were too many ‘rules’ to Judaism. Now I can see the error of my thinking. Everything that you do is done with intention. Once one is familiar with ‘why’ something is done, the act becomes more of a habit and not looked at as a burden or obscure rule. Explaining your prayers through each step of the Challah process was truly beautiful. Thank you for inviting me into your channel. I feel so welcome, and I have learned so much!

[@frumitup]

Thank you so so much Shelly! I feel so blessed you are here with an open mind and heart ❤️ Stay safe and blessed

[@lynneanthony168]

Hi Sarah, I ❤challah! What struck me as most beautiful was how you said a prayer after each ingredient was added. I think that is so special and elevates the challah to something more meaningful. You have given me much food for thought, as usual. x

[@frumitup]

You are so welcome! you are so sweet and your words really touched my heart xoxoxo

[@suejose]

I love Challah. This was soo peaceful. I actually went to numbers as I never read about the bread command. It was reflective and showed how much we don't do because we don't study the bible for ourselves.

[@sankey1988]

I'm totally agnostic but I absolutely love the prayer and thought that goes into making the Challah. I love to cook and bake. My kids will ask me why something tastes so yummy and I always tell them its because its made with love and its my secret ingredient! My middle child loves Challah and your video has reminded me to make some for him soon. Sending you a barróg agus póg (hug and kiss)from Ireland 💚🇮🇪

[@khnielsen8]

My Challah turned out beautifully...on my first try because you are a patient teacher. What excited me most is that FINALLY another woman is using a mixer like mine. I've been baking bread with my Bosch Magic Mixer since 1977. Now, however, I am no longer a new mother, but a great-grandmother with three sons, nine grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. My boys came home from school to the smell of baking bread (bringing their friends of course), all made in my precious Bosch Mixer. The amazing smell of baking bread fulfilled not only the hunger of their bodies, but their hunger for tradition, family, and love for one another. I loved giving the gift of those memories to my sons. Making a beautiful Challah was something I always dreamed of being able to do, but I was too intimidated to try...after all Challah is above and beyond bread as you taught in this video. I cannot thank you enough for the loving Challah lesson, with the mixer that has sustained my family for over fifty years, and your blessing at the end of the video that brings peace to my heart and tears to my eyes...I so yearn for the days when my children were tiny and as close as the kitchen table instead of spread out over Canada and the U.S. leaving me alone. Your blessing is so needed and appreciated. Thank you beyond words.

[@moon_mint]

What a blessing you are for sharing this with us - thank you. 🤍. My favorite parts are the prayers and blessings as you go. Bread making and baking is something I don't do often because there are so many steps and I want to do it well. But having every part of the process have a special prayer or blessing or scripture made this a spiritual journey. I always want those who eat my food to enjoy it, and I'm always thankful for God's provision, but this is something completely different and I can't thank you enough. WE are blessed to have YOU here on KZbin. 🙏🕊️🤍 BTW: I love Challah 😊

Dear Sara, how many lovely memories you have brought forth watching you make challah! My Mother was an excellent bread baker. As I watched your hands dance across the dough, I was reminded of how much love my Mother put into all her baking. She always shared the bread she made with others: to the church bake sales, to our family at all the holiday meals, to the neighbors, and to me after I was married as a reminder that I was special to her. Unfortunately, Mama never shared her skill at baking her own bread with anyone. Watching you show step by step bread making with not only a practical side, but a prayerful side makes me wonder if I could do so as well. I love challah, and I love watching your videos my friend. May G.od bless you today and always.

Thank you! You too sweet Devorah!

I love Challah! I haven’t made it in probably 35 years , when I took a semester of baking school. I learned to make a four strand braid. I love how you explain everything and the great love you have for everything you do. I look forward to trying my hand at this bread!

[@valariebrown3768]

Christians never speak of the Holy Feminine, much to our loss. Your loaves are lovely. There is nothing more comforting than the smell of good food cooking, and very few tasks more holy than preparing that food. Blessing be on you and yours.

[@patriciawolanski3458]

Your video is wonderful. I’m learning to make a similar Ukrainian Christmas bread called Kolach. I’ve learned so much about this from watching Challah videos. Given the similarities in the recipes and appearance of both breads I assume that the origin of the bread came from Jewish tradition first. Thank you for this beautiful and informative video.

Challah has to be the most beautiful bread I have ever seen.

Salam aleikum Dr. Sara. Thank you for sharing the recipe and above all, for sharing the wisdom and symbolism behind these amazing and ritualistic bread. I have been doing it for a year, and now, I realize I was doing it wrong. Respect from a Muslim sister. Peace be upon you and may God prosper you. ❤

I love challah bread and now it has special meaning for me. The spirituality that goes into the recipe making is amazing. I am not Jewish but I am I am very interested in your traditions. Thank you for opening my mind and heart to your world.

Dearest lady, your voice gives you away. You are an extremely generous person. Our faiths and culture are far apart, but also very similar. I have learnt so very much about the life of orthodox jews and their customs. I treasure every moment I spend listening to you. What a gentle soul your are. Your family is quite blessed to have you. I think a bit differently now, when I come across people who worship different from myself. I am a Christian and although we have a few things that are different, deep down inside we all strive to live godly and modestly. I enjoyed this video immensely. I have baked a challah bread before, I love that bread, it's quite delicious. God bless. 😊😊😊

Shalom Sara(h) I'm not sure of the spelling, i love the name! I just found your channel and I love the heart and soul you put into everything you do. We are working on doing this way of life. Your life is beautiful and I am excited and thankful for your teaching through sharing your experiences. A true Proverbs 31 woman. Bless you and your family ❤❤❤ we all are in need of learning and growing in the ways of our faith. You are an inspiration and I could smell my mom's bread as you broke the roll open. Yummy!! I could smell her baking bread for 2 blocks when getting off the school bus when I was young. I also love the prayers over everything. What a beautiful way of doing everything. How awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you and yours and Shabbat Shalom!! ❤❤

I love challah! But it doesn't love me...diagnosed with Celiac's more than 20 years ago so the first 45 years of my life I baked and enjoyed many bread recipes. This one looks very similar to one I used to use. Have you heard of challah made with potato or rice flour? I can't imagine it would be nearly as good, but would love to try.

There are recipes for challah-esque gluten-free breads out there! The recipe from Gluten Free On a Shoestring seems to have good reviews.

[@imtired6104]

I love Challah! The care that you take with filming the process is such a gift, Sara. And thank you for sharing your prayers and praying for all of us, they resonated most with me. "Let my prayer come like incense before you; the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice." Your videos are wonderful!

[@ladydamiana6841]

I made challah once...about 40 years ago. I remember thinking that it was another dirty dish if I cracked the eggs into a separate bowl, but did it anyway in case of a blood spot. The first egg had a blood spot! I had never seen one before nor have I seen one since in ANY cooking and I turn 62 next Sunday. How odd is that! P.S. The challah turned out wonderful!

these blood spots just jump out of nowhere!!! I hope you try challah again soon! stay safe and blessed!

Same problem here with gluten. All of the flour blends I’ve seen specifically say the aren’t for yeasted breads. There are so many I haven’t seen and maybe some day I’ll find one. This challah video makes me drool.

I love bread making. It’s something that makes me feel connected to all the women who come before me, knowing they would make bread the same way I can make it today. I feel the same when I knit (even though knitting is a much newer process than making bread.)

[@j.s.matlock1456]

Thank you for another lovely video. It took me back to my childhood when I would watch my grandmother making bread nearly every day for my great grandmother who was in a nursing facility. Grandma loved my Granny's yeast rolls, so Granny made sure she had all she wanted. I'm an old lady now, but it's a sweet memory.
