How to Make Challah Bread

Use the strands to braid a challah loaf. If rolls are preferred, you can take one strand and tie it in a knot (as in photo).

Line cookie sheets, baking trays or loaf pans with parchment paper. Place shaped challah on parchment paper.

Gently brush the tops of the loaves with an egg yolk mixed with a drop of water. Tamar Ansh suggests making an egg glaze consisting of 2 whole eggs, 1 egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon oil.
