๐Ÿž Tomorrow's the day! Here's your simple game plan so nobody's guessing.
โฐ Timing: This is NOT a 3-day sourdough marathon. Yeasted version is a same-day bake. Sourdough versionโ€”you can mix and braid today and cold-retard overnight, then bake tomorrow morning. Either way, you'll be pulling beautiful challah out of the oven on Saturday.
๐Ÿชบ The dough: Two eggs plus one extra yolk, oil (light/neutral, not extra virgin), and honey. No butter or dairy in the dough itself. Don't forget that extra yolk.
๐Ÿฅ–Shape: Your choiceโ€”3-strand, 6-strand, or round. Pick one and commit. Your first one doesn't have to be perfect.
๐Ÿ”ฅProofing in the heat: Enriched dough proofs FAST, especially in a warm kitchen. Start checking at 45 minutes with the poke testโ€”it should spring back slowly and leave a small indent.
๐ŸŒFinish: Egg wash before baking, sugar syrup (80g sugar / 80g water) right out of the oven for that glossy shine. Seeds? Roll the rope on a damp cloth, then through the seeds. Keep foil handy to tent if the top browns too fast.
๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธPost your bakes in the thread as you goโ€”I'll be right here with you. Let's make something beautiful.
