Challah Loaves

Recipe from the video How to Prepare for Shabbat in 2 Hours

Challah loaves made with this recipe do not require separating challah, since the dough contains less flour than the minimum amount required for reciting a blessing or separating challah without a blessing (the laws of separating challah are here).

Knead the dough and leave it to rise in a warm place for an hour. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into 6 pieces.

Shape 6 challah loaves, brush with egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, etc., if you like, and bake at 190 degrees for half an hour.
