Challah Class Descriptions

2-3 hours

Cost: Flat fee + price per participant applies. $40-75/person, based on # of participants and class option.

This class will introduce you to the mitzvah (commandment) of baking challah. We’ll discuss terms, customs, traditions, some baking basics, and variations. We will make dough and then learn tricks to braiding. This is a casual and fun class because baking challah is a beautiful, meaningful, and fun thing to do! You don’t need to be Jewish, Fb friends with me, or a baker. Everyone is welcome!

By the end of this class you will be able to do the following:

• Make challah dough using my recipe
• Use tips and tricks for making dough
• Braid a 3-strand challah

Three options available!

Virtual class: Participants will be provided with an ingredients list the week prior to the event, and can make dough alongside me during class. Please note that if you make dough during the class, you will not be able to braid it during class, due to time needed for rising. You are welcome to just watch without making dough or make your own dough prior to class and braid with your dough.

In-Person class Option #1: We will make dough together, let it rise, learn to braid, and you bake the loaves after class. There will be about 30-45 minutes available for discussion, games, schmoozing, etc. while the dough rises. This class is hosted in your home or a location you secure. Supplies and ingredients can be provided for a fee.

In-Person class Option #2: Dough is pre-made (by Sam) and the class focuses on braiding.
