    The round loaves are symbolic for the New Year In Judaism – the round is for the head of the year. I have never seen a four braid. I usually do 6. I liked your technique. I will try it. Mine was passed down through generations.

    This Recipe is very complicated,nobody at home is mastering challah this way. If someone is planning to bake challah ( you can do it plain,with chocolate,raisins,pumpkin,onions …) check recipes on Jewish channels . It is easy and not time consuming.Lan,your challah lucks good,but braiding technique for four strands is much easier. One table spoon salt for this amount of flour is to much.

    I've always enjoy Lan Lam. She's a good teacher and explains things very well. Her challa is beautiful and mush easier than I had imagined.

    I have long used baking sheets with a layer of air sandwiched inside of it. They are great for baking cookies without over-browning the bottoms. They have loaf pans like that as well. I had one woman check with me three times during one party to confirm that the sugar cookies I brought were ones I had actually baked myself, and after each confirmation, she said emphatically, "I'm impressed!" (No, she was not hitting on me.)
