*If you're thinking "I don't know if this looks right" or "this isn't right," don't give up. Move on to the next step and see how your bread turns out. If I threw in the towel everytime I thought something didn't look or feel right, I would be hungry. Very, very hungry. Bread making is learned by feel. You get a sense of what the dough should feel and look like after making many, many loaves. If your dough ever doesn't feel right, keep making it anyway to learn from the result. You will gain confidence after each and every loaf (hopefully). And if not, send me a message and I will help.
**For one large challah do not divide your dough in half. Simply make six long ropes about 24" and braid as per video instructions.
