- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and cover with a towel.
- When the dough doubles in size, punch down and let it double in size again.
- After the dough rises twice, you are now ready to prepare your challahs in any type of braid.
- This mini challah is a 6-strand challah.
- Braided breads need to double in size.
- Then you can brush a beaten egg over the top and sides, and sprinkle with sesame seeds or poppy seeds.
- Bake at 400 degrees until golden brown.
