  • @milapostol
    I have this book and the recipes I have made so far are wonderful. I was pleasantly surprised to see Aran on Food 52.
  • @ibons
    Thank you so much for this video! I love the book and I've made many of the recipes including the challah and it's wonderful. I'm excited to try it as a crown.
  • Aran this is a fantastic video! I can't wait to try this! I love how you braided the challahs too!
  • This came out delicious! I have your cookbook and it was really helpful to see you making it while reading the instructions. Thank you!
  • The book looks amazing. I love the way she explained with great detail how to make this bread. It seems she put a lot of love and care into developing these recipes for the cookbook. I'll certainly be purchasing it.
  • Your explanation and demonstration was very good. I now have more confidence to bake my first yeast rolls.

    I preordered this book (because I desperately miss good bread) and its incredible. I am forever in love with Aran. Thank you for this video, it's wonderful to have this video as supplemental guidance to the book. It really fills me with baking confidence -- baking gluten-free bread is a different experience than I'm used to so I'm grateful for this instruction!!
  • Thank you so much for this. It’s really exciting to find a delicious-looking challah recipe I can make without changing anything except the xanthan gum. Saving this to try :).
  • @pookarah
    Oh hey... Need to watch this through and give it a go

    My husband has been asking for gluten and dairy free challah since he found out he was allergic to gluten a few years back. Can't wait to try this!
  • While this challah recipe looks absolutely delicious and amazing the problem for religious Jewish people is that it must have one of the five grains order to wash and say the prayer over bread. This would require at least some type of gluten free oats in the recipe. I'm pretty sure you could probably sub out and add that in if you wanted to tweak this a little bit for Friday night Sabbath dinner. Thank you very much for this recipe!

    I love that you used grams! Thank you! Best way to bake especially gluten free! Can you use a bread machine to make the dough? Has anybody tried that?
