I'm obsessed! How fun is this "No Braiding" technique?
Same weights, same lengths as my yesterday key challah, I just placed the strands differently, and look at the result.
🗝Dough Division:
🔸 Top arches ×2
100 g each side | 40 cm / 16"
🔸 Side infinity ×2
130 g each side | 50 cm / 20"
🔸 Inner top ×2
30 g each side | 30 cm / 12"
🔸 Bottom spiral ×2
30 g each | 30 cm / 12"
🔸 Key body ×2
50 g each side | 20 cm / 8"
🗝 Decorations and Tips:
✨ Body decoration - 20 g
✨ Key teeth - 30 g
✨ Top sides balls ×2 - 20 g each side
✨ Remaining small balls - 10 g each
💡 Use any leftover dough to add your own decorative touches!
💡 Keep about 1.5 fingers of space between the parts, the dough will still rise and expand.
💡You can brush with egg yolk before baking, or drizzle with olive oil right after, just like in this video.
💡Same weights, same lengths, endless designs. Mix it up, play with the placement, and make it yours.
🗝Ingredients (800 g of dough):
500 g AP/bread flour
7 g dry yeast
50 g sugar
