  9. Take remaining pice and devide inot three equal pieces. Roll each piece into long thin strip. Braid these strips and place them around the large braid. This creates a beautiful, decorative loaf for special occasions. Allow to raise two double in size. Brush top with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in a 350 degree oven about 30 minutes or til a beautiful golden brown and makes a hollow sound when you thump the top. If you prefer you can place this dough in loaf pans. It should make three standard loaves. Enjoy

Wow this is pretty easy! I thought challah was a difficult bread to make, that's why I never tried it. But you make it seem manageable. I do love sesame - it's one of my favourite flavours. Great post. I haven't made bread in a very long while but you make me feel like starting again lol Thanks for sharing.


This is a great challah recipe and thank you so much for sharing!
Cheers!!!
