I've tried your challah recipe already and I love the taste, however I think I can't get the baking right. Can you help?
Since I currently have to live away by myself I make mini challot (I use around 100g of dough for each) so that I can have two whole loaves for each Shabbat meal and not waste too much. I do three strand braids or four strands, usually long (like the letter ו) or round for Rosh Hashana. I feel like I always overbake them because I am scared of underbaking them. Can you give me a tip how long to bake them and at what temperature?
Thank you so much for this video and all the other ones. You make me feel like I have a family or friend who understands me and I'm not alone. I am very grateful. B"H ❤
Its so nice to see you today! You made my day. Thank you so much.❤
Dr Sara, I want to thank you for introducing us to orthodox lifestyle. I am a Christian that lived in Saudi Arabia for 7 years. Where I experienced Islam. I believe there is wisdom in all faiths. Thank you for introducing us to orthodox lifestyle. Even us Christians should keepTorah. May God bless you and your family
thank you so much Robert! May G.od bless you!
@@frumitup He does every day. But you have showed me that Christians are not keeping Torah. You have set me on a path to self improvement.
You can never prayer too much . I think it's beautiful. I am a messianic believer we do both the Thorah portion and brit Cadesha or new covenant . so Robert continue to be inspired and prayer if the entire world could prayer like Sara does first thing in the morning what a beautiful world this would be . @@sbug2705

I am Catholic and have a tremendous love and respect for my Jewish brothers and sisters. Salvation for all comes from the Jewish faith. God bless you and your family. I enjoy your sharing all aspects of your traditional way of life. Living close to your faith with everything you do gives you the joy that is obviously comes across in your videos. Praying for Israel at this time.
The various analogies of you explaining why you pray a specific prayer with each ingredient was my favorite part!
Mine too because I love to add meaning to my actions ❤️❤️ how about you?
@@frumitup Absolutely! Bacteremia sepsis has fried my brain a little bit but the first example off the top of my head is my photography. I spend a lot of time in the hospital or various doctor's offices and I firmly believe that the staff does not get enough gratitude or credit. So I print up some of my scenic photos and when I pick up the order of them, I take each individual one in my hands and I pray. "Lord Gott, I don't know who this photo will wind up in the hands of, but I ask You to bless them." One of my all time favorite things to do is that at every shift change, I ask each nurse and each CNA to choose an extra photo. Then I jot a little prayer, a Scripture verse, or simply a note of encouragement on the back of it and have them give it to a patient that is having a particularly rough time. (If they desire to participate, obviously. Over the years, I've had two people decline to participate and I certainly understand! It's not for everyone.) I figure it's win-win-win. I get to be reminded to pray for the other patients, the other patient gets a little reminder that a stranger cares and is praying for them, and the staff member gets to be the person to facilitate God's love.
I hope this does not sound prideful, as it certainly is not meant to be. It is just the first example off the top of my head and I LOVE doing it. So much love and prayers to you and your family tonight, sweet Sara!
As I watched you making your Challah I was amazed at the beauty of the dough. I used to be a baker and the bakery I worked at was known in the local Jewish community for the Challa we made. We were not a Jewish bakery but we did ask the local temple to come and make sure we didn't do anything that would render the Challa not kosher or unusable for the local Jewish community. They gave us their blessing and would come in on the days we were making the Challa.
My favorite part of making the Challah was braiding it! That was so much fun! And making the round Challa was a joy! Thank you for giving me a recipe for Challa again! The bakery closed years ago and I lost the recipe we used. I just know I love Challa but I am happy that I can make Challah for my Jewish friends who are baking challanged. Thank you!
I love challah! I teared up when you explained the deep spiritual moment of separating the challah, including us in your prayers. You are so generous to share your challah recipe and methods, as well as your prayers from the heart. I will be gathering my courage (I am not a baker!) soon, to try your recipe--it looks so tempting. Thank you, Sara. To you and anyone reading, know that today you are so loved!
I do bake bread and am quite good at it. Her recipes work very well.
Awww thank you so much Jeni❤️❤️❤️you’ve got this!!!
@@collinsfriend1 awwww amazing! Thank you for the feedback ❤️❤️❤️
I teared up as well. Such beautiful prayers.
I was in tears as well. Hearing your warm voice, praying from the depths of your heart, for all of us... I cannot express how much that means to me.
I loved this video. I have always assumed that there were too many ‘rules’ to Judaism. Now I can see the error of my thinking. Everything that you do is done with intention. Once one is familiar with ‘why’ something is done, the act becomes more of a habit and not looked at as a burden or obscure rule. Explaining your prayers through each step of the Challah process was truly beautiful. Thank you for inviting me into your channel. I feel so welcome, and I have learned so much!
Thank you so so much Shelly! I feel so blessed you are here with an open mind and heart ❤️
Stay safe and blessed
I have been having a calling from God to convert to Judaism and your videos are so helpful.
I'm totally agnostic but I absolutely love the prayer and thought that goes into making the Challah. I love to cook and bake. My kids will ask me why something tastes so yummy and I always tell them its because its made with love and its my secret ingredient! My middle child loves Challah and your video has reminded me to make some for him soon. Sending you a barróg agus póg (hug and kiss)from Ireland 💚🇮🇪
I love Challah and I loved this video and presentation. I am an Italian-Catholic and have always respected the Jewish faith. Your prayers and Bible verses have touched me deeply. I am truly indebted to you. May the good Lord bless you and guide your mind, heart and hands in all that you do.
Hi Sarah, I ❤challah! What struck me as most beautiful was how you said a prayer after each ingredient was added. I think that is so special and elevates the challah to something more meaningful. You have given me much food for thought, as usual. x
You are so welcome! you are so sweet and your words really touched my heart xoxoxo
My Challah turned out beautifully...on my first try because you are a patient teacher. What excited me most is that FINALLY another woman is using a mixer like mine. I've been baking bread with my Bosch Magic Mixer since 1977. Now, however, I am no longer a new mother, but a great-grandmother with three sons, nine grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. My boys came home from school to the smell of baking bread (bringing their friends of course), all made in my precious Bosch Mixer. The amazing smell of baking bread fulfilled not only the hunger of their bodies, but their hunger for tradition, family, and love for one another. I loved giving the gift of those memories to my sons.
Making a beautiful Challah was something I always dreamed of being able to do, but I was too intimidated to try...after all Challah is above and beyond bread as you taught in this video. I cannot thank you enough for the loving Challah lesson, with the mixer that has sustained my family for over fifty years, and your blessing at the end of the video that brings peace to my heart and tears to my eyes...I so yearn for the days when my children were tiny and as close as the kitchen table instead of spread out over Canada and the U.S. leaving me alone. Your blessing is so needed and appreciated. Thank you beyond words.
That mixer looks AMAZING!
Your constant praying is such a comfort to me. It reminds me to be more prayerful and fills me with peace. I love your videos.
Thank you for this today. I am on a path of disentagling my faith after terrible situation. The knowledge that I can pray and focus on G while cooking and doing the mundane brings me so much peace
I love Challah. This was soo peaceful. I actually went to numbers as I never read about the bread command. It was reflective and showed how much we don't do because we don't study the bible for ourselves.
Ooooo, YUM! Sara & wonderful, amazing Frummies... I cannot wait to watch this & see you ALL today! Huge, huge hugs to everyone who wants or needs one. 😊
❤
thank you sweetie! Just to make you laugh: we have 21 thumbs up thank G.od and we already have all the negative people who without even seeing the video disliked the video so we are at a 95,5% approval rate!! ahhhh what can we do :) see you soon sweetie :) and thank you to be so AMAZING!
Good morning and hugs to you Abigail! 🥰
@@frumitup Hi there, so they're already "disliking" it, LOL! Now, that's funny! I'll be monitoring, moderating and taking note! 🧐🤭💞
@@Shoshi2048 they absolutely love trolling!
@@frumitup Good morning and hugs to you Sara! 🥰
Hi from the UK, looking forward to seeing your video sara , you are a lovely lady with a beautiful soul , you always cheer me up thank you x ❤
thank you so much Caroline :)
Watched a video on how water molecules realign into more beautiful shapes after praying over the water. I pray over my water, before filling my coffee pot, drinking a glass, etc. I will add more prayers to my cooking as you do as it is beautiful & worshipful🙏
I love challah! My favorite part is the prayer time!💙🙏
aww me too Karen! stay safe and blessed sweetie
I love Challah! Though I am not Jewish, I had the honor of making it for the bat mitzvahs of the daughters of close family friends. I love the thoughts and prayers you shared in your process. Although I don’t have that knowledge or tradition, baking bread, especially for the special occasions for my friends, is still a process in which I put love and goodwill into it for all who will be nourished, as we should do with all the food we prepare.
I love that you incorporate so many beautiful prayers, they're like poetry!
I'm having a bad chronic pain day today and this video popping up helped me to feel so much less alone. Thank you for doing what you do. You're my Challah, too!
Dear Sara, how beautiful and inspirational this 'baking Challah bread' video was. I never imagined how much you can bring the mundane close to the divine. I love your Jewish spirituality. So much to learn! Thank you so much for sharing your light with the rest of us.
God richly bless! 🌟💜🌟
Thank you my sweet friend ❤️❤️
May G.od bless and protect you and your family
Thank you for this video! My partner was raised Jewish and they're not practicing and more secular now, but they do miss the food. I've been meaning to make them challah and this video is so thorough that i intend to revisit it until i can make it all on my own. I hope you have a wonderful day!
I am so happy you can help them reconnect with their roots ! Stay safe and blessed Seraphina
@@frumitup oh i do try! They have as much a right to their traditions as anyone else, and so much of this world seems to expect everyone to be christian with little acommodation for those who aren't. I figure if I can make life a little nicer at the cost of a few hours out of my day, there's no reason not to. And if i'm being completely honest, having fresh bread in the house is as good a motivation as any ^-^
I have enjoyed watching you while I recover from major back surgery. You remind that I’m not alone in this world!
Ohhhh sweetie may you have a complete and speedy recovery
What a blessing you are for sharing this with us - thank you. 🤍. My favorite parts are the prayers and blessings as you go. Bread making and baking is something I don't do often because there are so many steps and I want to do it well. But having every part of the process have a special prayer or blessing or scripture made this a spiritual journey.
I always want those who eat my food to enjoy it, and I'm always thankful for God's provision, but this is something completely different and I can't thank you enough. WE are blessed to have YOU here on RUclips. 🙏🕊️🤍
BTW: I love Challah 😊
awww thank you sweetie! i think the blessings can be tasted in the food too!
xoxox stay safe and blessed my friend!
I Love Challah. Sara thank You these changes the meaning of baking bread, I do pray when making bread but today I understood the real meaning🤍
Thank you Dr. Sara for taking the time to do these videos . Its so informative , well put together and I love your wisdom . It's so refreshing to see a pious professional woman cook, bake , take care of her home and children and always putting God first. It's just so beautiful!
Sara, I love it when you remind us to pray particularly when we are doing simple, ordinary daily tasks. Your videos have helped me to have more prayer throughout my days. Thank you.
I love challah. The Spiritual meaning every step of the way.
Good morning everyone! Looking forward to another of Sara's fabulous videos today! If you want amazing challah, you're at the right place! 💖💗💖
Good morning! YOu are THE BEST!
I love Challah! Thank you again for a lovely and informative video. I learn so much every time I watch you. Did you know every time I watch one of your videos it lifts my spirits. Thank you. I love to bake bread but I’ve never tried Challah but now I’m going to give it a go. With much love from your friend in Minnesota, Cheryl
Awwwww thank you sweet Cheryl : your words touched my heart and soul 🥰🥰🥰
Sara, not only is this a fantastic step-by-step guide to making Challah, it is made with such love and care (as are all your videos) I cannot thank you enough for taking the time and energy to post videos in addition to everything else you have going on in your life. You are a blessing not only to your family and your patients, but to your viewers as well. May God continue to bless you and protect you and your family. 💖💖💖💖
I'm bookmarking this video so when it gets cooler here in South Florida, I will give it a go. Thank you for sharing. :)
Hope you enjoy it Tami !
I LOVE CHALLAH. Your prayers during the creation process are so touching. I have a Jewish butcher/ restaurant by my home that serves delicious challah French toast but I'm going to try and make the bread myself with reverence. Thank you again for a beautiful video.
The song for braiding was cute. I wish I knew that song when my daughter was little.
I love challah! My favorite parts are the braiding and the prayers to G-od throughout. Blessings of joy.
I love Challah!
Thanks for taking the time to do this video. You remind me so much about the actions of my mother. She never mentioned our Jewishness. However all the elements were apparent in her cooking and baking as were they with her mother.
Shalom
I loved the explanations of the spiritual meanings of every part of the process of making the challah. I’ll definitely watch this again because these understandings can benefit me as a Christian.
I love challah! But it doesn't love me...diagnosed with Celiac's more than 20 years ago so the first 45 years of my life I baked and enjoyed many bread recipes. This one looks very similar to one I used to use. Have you heard of challah made with potato or rice flour? I can't imagine it would be nearly as good, but would love to try.
There are recipes for challah-esque gluten-free breads out there! The recipe from Gluten Free On a Shoestring seems to have good reviews.
@@SpringStarFangirl ooh thank you so much!
@@doris1826 you're welcome! My brother has IBS and is off gluten and soy, so I know how tricky celiac is to live with. May you have smooth digestion and delightful food!
Challah has to be the most beautiful bread I have ever seen.
We love challah! Thank you for your lovely blessings! Shalom🇮🇱
You are a wonderful teacher and spiritual model. Your example has helped in my life and relationship with God. Thank you for including us in your prayers.❤❤😊
I am a christian anarchist and do not believe in any organized religion, but this video was a beautiful reminder to me to put everything before God and to remember Him in every action of the day and to receive the sacrifice of the Christ humbly and with thanks in all that I do. Thank you.
I’m always inspired by the beauty, joy, love and spirit of G-d that you bring to every task. Considering that you balance homemaking with a demanding profession is incredible. The Almighty blessed you with extraordinary gifts!💞
I made challah once...about 40 years ago. I remember thinking that it was another dirty dish if I cracked the eggs into a separate bowl, but did it anyway in case of a blood spot. The first egg had a blood spot! I had never seen one before nor have I seen one since in ANY cooking and I turn 62 next Sunday. How odd is that!
P.S. The challah turned out wonderful!
these blood spots just jump out of nowhere!!! I hope you try challah again soon!
stay safe and blessed!
@@frumitup Thank you for this channel and all the hard work it takes! Blessed Be!
Thank you for the example of using the ingredients and steps as inspiration for a prayer. What a beautiful way to incorporate faith into everyday life.
Thank you so much!
I love challah bread and now it has special meaning for me. The spirituality that goes into the recipe making is amazing. I am not Jewish but I am I am very interested in your traditions. Thank you for opening my mind and heart to your world.
Prayers are the blessings of this beautiful process to make this wonderful Challah! I love Challah! ❤
I love challah! Thanks for sharing all your tricks and tips for making challah...Shavua Tov and have a wonderful week ahead love from Israel
Thank you! You too sweet Devorah!
Christians never speak of the Holy Feminine, much to our loss. Your loaves are lovely. There is nothing more comforting than the smell of good food cooking, and very few tasks more holy than preparing that food. Blessing be on you and yours.
I LOVE CHALLAH!❤ In Colorado, USA😊
Sara I would love it if one day you would do a video on how you stay so positive. Your life is so busy, and yet you seem to have such a joy in your heart. I would love to hear more abut that someday as its something I struggle with. G.od bless you!
That would be my pleasure !
@@frumitup Thank you, Sara!
There is something satisfying about making yeast breads: the warm, yeasty smell, the feel of the dough and the yummy golden-brown bread when it comes out of the overn.
This was the most beautiful way to not only show how to make something but to incorporate the very actions to our own lives!!! I will be using this as a tutorial for my babes.
Your videos are so uplifting. How beautiful, the communing with G-d as the challah is made!
The last time I watched one of these videos, I was very ill with flu. That night I had a pleasant dream based upon the video of the stay in the Jewish hotel.
Many thanks for the joy and comfort!
Sara Malka - I started making your challah recipe a year ago and it always comes out fluffy and delicious -- I've said goodbye to dense challah forever. Wishing you. and your family a gmar chatima tova. I love challah!
I love challah! Sara, I can't wait to try your recipe. A couple of things:
1. Your work clothes in this video looked both beautiful and comfortable!
2. My late Mom had absolutely NO luck with making anything with yeast.😊 She made great quick breads, but yeasted breads of any kind something would go seriously wrong. She could laugh about it though, so it made her quick breads even more delicious!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful and joyous week!
Dear Sara, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the step-by-step Recipe. Thank you. Your kindness motivates me to seek God in everything I do. May God bless you and your precious family.❤❤❤
as most in the comments, i’m not orthodox, but the intention, time, love, & faith incorporated into this recipe moved me emotionally. intention is very important in my personal spiritual beliefs, and i can feel the positive energy radiating out of this video & challah bread. i love the idea of women being able to bring good energy & faith out from the earth while baking. thank you for always sharing your life & journey with us, dr sara.
Your comment moved me to tears / you are the reason I do these videos sweet friend
May G.od bless your path with light and closeness to H.im xoxoxo
I love Challah!
Thank you. 🙏🌷
Blessings to you & your family.
Shalom. 🙏
thank you faith hope and love!
I am not a religious woman, but found your video very moving. So much more than a mere recipe.
Is there anything better than freshly baked bread? There's something oddly satisfying watching you make Challah in slow motion!
When I come home from work I need to wash the day away before I get into comfortable clothes. I am going to try this recipe, it looks delicious. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I love Challah! I haven’t made it in probably 35 years , when I took a semester of baking school. I learned to make a four strand braid. I love how you explain everything and the great love you have for everything you do. I look forward to trying my hand at this bread!
Dear Sara, how many lovely memories you have brought forth watching you make challah! My Mother was an excellent bread baker. As I watched your hands dance across the dough, I was reminded of how much love my Mother put into all her baking. She always shared the bread she made with others: to the church bake sales, to our family at all the holiday meals, to the neighbors, and to me after I was married as a reminder that I was special to her. Unfortunately, Mama never shared her skill at baking her own bread with anyone. Watching you show step by step bread making with not only a practical side, but a prayerful side makes me wonder if I could do so as well. I love challah, and I love watching your videos my friend. May G.od bless you today and always.
Dearest lady, your voice gives you away. You are an extremely generous person. Our faiths and culture are far apart, but also very similar. I have learnt so very much about the life of orthodox jews and their customs. I treasure every moment I spend listening to you. What a gentle soul your are. Your family is quite blessed to have you. I think a bit differently now, when I come across people who worship different from myself. I am a Christian and although we have a few things that are different, deep down inside we all strive to live godly and modestly. I enjoyed this video immensely. I have baked a challah bread before, I love that bread, it's quite delicious. God bless. 😊😊😊
Your video is wonderful. I’m learning to make a similar Ukrainian Christmas bread called Kolach. I’ve learned so much about this from watching Challah videos. Given the similarities in the recipes and appearance of both breads I assume that the origin of the bread came from Jewish tradition first. Thank you for this beautiful and informative video.

What a beautiful peek into the sacredness of making Challah! I appreciated most when you reminded us that God has given women the gift of taking mundane things and lifting them to a holy place. ❤ Thank you!

That is AMAZING!!!
Thank you, Sara. I needed this today! I love Challah.
Shalom shalom. I'm from Brazil but today I live in Israel. The perfect chalah recipe I make is the one you taught me in one of your videos. All the women I share your recipe with love it. Thanks for sharing With us a bit of your Jewish life ❤
Another Great Video. Thank you :)
You make that look so easy!!!!!
I Love Challah! I love all your videos! Thank you.
Great thanks! 👍
Omg this was amazing
I love bread making.
It’s something that makes me feel connected to all the women who come before me, knowing they would make bread the same way I can make it today.
I feel the same when I knit (even though knitting is a much newer process than making bread.)
Perfect! The braiding!
I love challah ❤

I love challah! Thank you for posting and sharing with us ❤️
I love challah and your videos!! 😊
I still have difficulty braiding 3 strands! 😂 I am going to watch this a few times to see if I can finally get it right!😉
I love good, homemade bread in general, but have never tasted or made challah. What you made looks sooo yummy, especially with the sesame seeds. They give any bread a lovely nutty flavor that, paired with butter and/or honey or jam, is heavenly!
But what clearly makes any food more heavenly are any prayers or blessings said while preparing the food. Otherwise, I feel like I'm just eating from a pure survival mode, physically, and not with true intention to nourish myself physically or spiritually. I've noticed this lack of intention comes from stressful situations or emotions. At least that's what I've observed within myself lately, and I've made it a personal goal to be more mindful of what I'm doing, or saying.
Watching this video gave me so much peace, inspiration and encouragement to keep on with this goal. I don't have a lot of extra counter space to make something like challah bread, but I can at least approach improving my other cooking and baking efforts with the extra mindfulness and peace I seek to cultivate overall...because it's the very opposite of what I was surrounded with before I moved into my own place. 😅 Thank you, Sara, for bringing this peaceful mindfulness to all who need it. 🙏🙏
Thank you for this updated challah video! It's more detailed, and I appreciate all you do and the time for making these! My new favorite challah video!
I loved when you punched the dough down. 😁 Thank you, Sarah!
This is so incredibly interesting! that is perfect dough!
I love challah and this video! So wonderful to know why it is crafted as you did it.
Very fun recipe to make, my friend
I love challah and I love your channel!
