[Eats x JBSA] Challah Baking Class

Jackie Elkins, Baked T'Shuvah's founder (https://www.bakedtshuvah.com/ and Instagram @baked_tshuvah_challah), will walk us through how to make challah bread. Jackie Elkins volunteers at Beit T'Shuvah, a Jewish nonprofit in LA, and runs weekly challah baking classes there. Feel free to follow along or watch. List of ingredients to purchase are below.

This makes 2 challah. Please measure all ingredients ahead of the class and use instant yeast (not active). If anyone has trouble finding instant, it takes 10 minutes to proof active yeast (Jackie can show you how)
