    Title: Best Basic Challah - Part 2
    Categories: Breads
    Yield: 48 Servings

    DIRECTIONS CONTINUE

    CHOCOLATE CHALLAH: Prepare as above, except substitute
    2/3 cup packed brown sugar for the honey and stir 1/2 cup
    unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons instant espresso
    coffee powder into 2 cups of the flour before adding to
    the yeast mixture (you will use less flour during
    kneading).

    To shape stacked loaves, divide dough into three
    portions. Remove one-fourth of the dough from each
    portion; divide each fourth into thirds (nine small
    portions total). Gently roll each third into a
    15-inch-long rope. Braid three ropes at a time to make
    three small braids; cover and set aside. Divide the
    remaining three portions of dough into thirds (nine large
    portions total). Gently roll each third into an
    18-inch-long rope. Braid three ropes at a time to make
    three large braids. For each stacked loaf, brush a large
    braid with some of the egg mixture; top with a small
    braid, pressing gently. Let rise as directed. Brush with
    the remaining egg mixture; bake as directed. Makes 3
    loaves (16 servings each).

    MINI CINNAMON-SUGAR CHALLAH: Prepare as above. Divide
    dough into three portions. Use two of the portions to
    shape stacked loaves as directed for Chocolate Challah.
    Continue as directed.

    Use the remaining portion of dough to shape mini loaves:
    On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 24x7-inch
    rectangle. Using a pizza cutter, cut rectangle into
    forty-eight 7x1/2-inch strips. Braid three strips at a
    time to make 16 mini loaves. Let rise as directed, omit
    brushing with egg mixture, and bake for 15 to 18 minutes
    or until golden brown. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted
    butter and sprinkle with a mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar
    and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Serve warm. Makes 16
    mini loaves plus 2 stacked loaves (16 servings each).

    VANILLA-SCENTED CHALLAH: Prepare as above, except use 3/4
    cup sugar instead of the honey. Split 1 vanilla bean
    lengthwise and scrape out seeds; add vanilla seeds to the
    yeast mixture. Continue as directed.

    PARMESAN CHALLAH: Prepare as above. To shape
    single-braided loaves, divide dough into three portions.
    Divide each portion into thirds (nine portions total).
    Gently roll each third into an 18-inch-long rope. Brush
    ropes with 3 tablespoons olive oil and roll in 1 cup
    finely shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Braid three
    ropes at a time to make three loaves. Continue as
    directed, except omit brushing with egg mixture.

    Makes 3 single-braided loaves (16 servings each).

    Makes: 48 servings
