so i can share with you one last secret on how to make round challah more delicious and beautiful
than any other one so let's jump into it our first stop will be a weaved challah put your strands in
a hashtag formation making sure the strands are crisscrossing the others over and under
take this trend that is over the other strand and pass it under its neighbor over and pass it under
over under repeat it one last time over under you will repeat the process in the same direction but
now you're going to start by the one that was under and pass it over its neighbor
under over under over repeat the process until you do not have enough length in your strands of
challah to continue pinch the ends together and tuck them underneath your challah
as in addition you can cut a piece of dough to decorate your challah
here i'm going to use a cookie cutter shaped as a magen david or star of david and i will
add it on the top of the round challah for your second round challah design you will do a plain
three strand braid chala and you will put it aside roll two long thin strands of chala about
18 to 24 inches long and twist the two strands together roll them on themselves
then roll the braid around your twisted center
the third version for your round challah for Rosh Hashana you will use a honey dish whether it is
like this one in metal or you simply do not have an ovenproof dish take a piece of aluminum foil
fold it onto itself and put it around the edges of your honey dish
cover it with a parchment paper and fill it with a ball of aluminum foil to keep its shape
then place it at the center of your round baking dish
form a knot and place it in the round baking dish repeat the process leaving enough space between
them for the dough to grow you can also replace the knots shape with small rolls the fourth way
to make your round challah is a weaved challah but this time you will use six strands place
your strands like a tic-tac-toe making sure that each strand goes over and under each other
braid all the ends together like a regular three strand braid
making sure to braid them loosely at first to avoid them splitting open during baking
tuck the ends under your challah and add 10 minutes to your baking time
due to the thickness of your challah the fifth version is a round rose challah take your dough
and roll it to a sixth of an inch in thickness take a large three inch cookie cutter or a bowl
dip the edges in flower and cut 5 circles align them on top of the other making sure they overlap
starting from the first petal roll it up to form a rose to make it hold together place
in a piece of aluminum foil fold it to match the height of the rose cover it with parchment paper
put it loosely around the rose and secure it using the edges of the aluminum foil
the sixth way to make your round challah bread will be to braid a three-strand challah
roll a separate long strand of challah about 24 to 30 inches and put it aside
roll the braid onto itself then roll the tail end of the braid around the center of
your round challah forming a giant rose attach the single strand of challah around your rose
then roll it unto itself to complete your round challah rose
the seventh way how to make round challah we'll start by rolling out your dough
in a rectangular shape of a 9 by 15 inch in dimension using your rolling pin
as a guide cut straight lines at regular interval on your dough continue the process
until you have reached across your dough slowly roll the dough onto itself
then connect the two edges
the eighth way to plate your round challah is to form a long strand and roll it onto
itself but because i know you are here to up your Rosh Hashana let's make a stuffed round
challah start the same way rolling out your dough and form a long log about 24 to 30 inches long
using your rolling pin flatten the strand add your favorite filling here i will use apple butter
but you could use nutella cinnamon sugar whatever your heart desires
spread a nice layer but not too much as it will ooze out add some very small
cubed apples so they will be able to bake with the challah and place them in the middle of the strand
as a pro tip do not simply pinch the edges of your challah together as it will not stick take
the outer part of the strand and bring them out and over to the other side continue the
process until it is fully closed roll out your stuffed challah to distribute evenly the filling
on the parchment paper roll carefully and slowly your stuffed challah
you could also stop here but for more of a wow effect add some thinly sliced
apples in the seam of your round challah making sure that every apple overlaps
your ninth way to make a round challah is in my opinion the cutest way especially if you're having
guests is to make individual pomegranate round challah take a small piece of dough and make it
into a perfect ball put it aside then take a very small piece of challah and form another small ball
make four cuts on the top of the small ball using scissors place them together
and you have your perfect pomegranate challah
our 10th and last round challah for my challah expert or anyone who wants a good challenge using
seven strands of challah braid three strand at a time starting from the right to the left
