Things You'll Need:
- Flat work surface
- Flour
- Challah bread dough
- Rolling pin
- Raisins (optional)
-
Step 1
Sprinkle a light coating of flour onto a flat work surface in your kitchen. This helps prevent the challah bread dough from sticking to the work surface.
-
Step 2
Place the challah bread dough on the floured surface.
-
Step 3
Push out any air that may remain in the challah bread dough. Do this by lightly pressing the dough with your hands.
-
Step 4
Use a rolling pin to roll out the challah bread dough about ½ inch thick.
-
Step 5
Roll the challah bread dough lengthwise into a long rope of dough. Be sure to roll the challah bread dough tightly and pinch the ends of the dough rope closed with your fingers.
-
Step 6
Use your hands to roll or spin the ends of the challah dough rope thinner than the middle of the rope, which needs to be thicker.
-
Step 7
Form a tight spiral of challah bread dough by winding it into a spiral shape that's slightly higher in the center. Start with one of the thin ends of the dough rope and continue to roll the dough until a spiral forms. Pinch the pieces of dough together at the end of the spiral.
