workshop: vegan challah
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. We recommend leaving unbaked loaves in your fridge for a few hours or overnight, and then baking.
Reservations required. No kids. Workshops are refundable up to 1 week in advance. 1 spot is for 1 person unless otherwise noted. Email hello [at] madeatcraft.com with questions.
