Starting from scratch, we’ll mix dough from six staple ingredients, add flavorings and mix-ins in several ways with different effects, and then braid. Everyone will choose if you want to learn how to make a round loaf or a 4- or 6- braid, or all three!

 Eli cofounded the original chapter of Challah for Hunger while in college in California. The organization, now part of Mazon, has mostly campus-based chapters which bring together students to bake and sell challah. Each chapter donates half of its profits to CfH’s national partner, Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger, and allocates the remaining half locally.

In this workshop, you will

• make vegan challah dough from scratch, with provided ingredients,

• choose your extra ingredients for flavor and variety,

• learn two or three challah braiding techniques,

• receive Eli’s recipe for simple and delicious vegan challah,

• learn about the background and tradition of challah,

• hear about Eli’s tricks and tips for lazy baking and cleaning,

• and leave with your braided loaves to bake at home (can then be frozen).

You must bring a baking tray to class. Please also bring a mixing bowl and wooden spoon for stirring. You will leave with braided unbaked loaves to bake at home.
