At Malka Children’s Centre, we have a Friday habit. We bake challah with the children.

👨🏻‍🍳 It’s not just about the bread. They mix, they wait, they help each other. Some get it straight away, others take their time and that’s fine.

If you feel like it, you can try it at home as well.

🔸 Ingredients
• 1 pack of fresh yeast
• 3 eggs
• 2 kg of flour
• 3 cups of sugar
• 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon of salt
• 3 cups of warm water

🔸 Method
Mix the yeast with warm water and a little sugar. Leave it for about 10 minutes.
In another bowl, mix the eggs with the rest of the sugar and the salt.
Combine everything.

Add the flour gradually and knead a soft dough. Add the oil at the end.
Leave it in a warm place for about an hour.

Shape into braids, brush with egg, and bake at 180°C for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown

A simple thing to do together.
