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
