Yes, there are a few reason...Hi Devorah- thank you! Yes, there are a few reasons why your challah could be dense:<br />1) Too much flour, very common- when kneading it you should add JUST enough flour so that it is a cohesive ball. It's ok if its still sticky- you can flour your surface when you braid it to make it easier to work wtih.<br />2) Not enough kneading- the more kneading the better! I make my dough by hand and try to aim for 10 minutes of kneading. It's tiring but it makes a huge difference on the challah - plus while you knead is a good time to daven :) If you use a machine, you can knead it for closer to 20 minutes- the more you knead it, the better the texture.<br />3) The challah did not rise enough. It should rise for a full hour before braiding, if not more, and a full hour after braiding. In the winter, if your house is chilly, it can take closer to 2 hours. <br /><br /><br />Good luck I hope it helps!CantStopBakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03239766513847970859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1289381798567398075.post-60745265364798573622015-08-13T02:01:25.431-04:002015-08-13T02:01:25.431-04:00Hi, you're challah looks super yummy.
