🍞 Tip of the Afternoon: Watch Your Challah

⭐

🔥

Just did the poke test on mine. One hour in. Already ready.

I know it sounds backwards. Two eggs, an extra yolk, oil, honey, you’d think all that richness would slow the proof down. It doesn’t. In my kitchen, challah proofs fast and it’ll get away from you if you’re not paying attention.

So set a timer if you want, but trust your eyes more. Start checking at 45 minutes. Poke test, light pressure, dough should spring back slowly and leave a small indent. That’s your window.

Don’t walk away thinking you’ve got two hours. You might have one.
