Sourdough Challah

January 13, 2024|Sourdough Bread

Ingredients:

(make this the evening before you bake)

🫙70g warm filtered water

🫙50g all purpose/bread flour

🫙170g (3/4 cups) warm filtered water

🫙170g levain (all of it)

🫙 50g (1/4 cup) sugar

🫙 500g (3.5 cups) all purpose bread flour

🫙7g (1 tsp) salt

🫙48g (1/4 cup) olive oil

Directions:

🫙Levain:

mix all ingredients in a jar, cover lightly, may overflow.

☝Rise #1: Keep in a dark and warm place for 4-5 hours or until doubles and bubbly.

🫙Challah Dough:

Mix all ingredients including the levin until fully incorporated.

☝Rise #2: set aside for 30 minutes covered.

After 30 minutes, knead the dough 8-10 minutes.

Dough should be a bit sticky, don't add flour unless you have to and your dough is too tough.

☝ Rise #3: Leave to rise 8-10 hours.

I do this at night before I go to bed.

In the morning, I cut to same weight pieces and braid a beautiful challah.

☝Rise #4 last time:

Place your challahs in a warm place to rise for 2-3 hours.

Egg & bake at 350F for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy❤
