Making Challah!!

This is one of my younger child's favorite breads I make from scratch!  I typically make it for Seder and Hanukkah and at Sukkot. He loves to eat it. I love to make it! 

When we made it before, there was an email for instructions - particularly for the braid. I made it again about a week ago without the four braid lattice method and used a typical three ply braid on this one.
  Let the bread rise and punch down twice. Separate and let rise again to make two loaves.

  Separate into three strips to braid.

 Pinch ends together.

 Braid like a typical braid.

 Finish off braid.

 Tuck ends and bake and eat!!

You are supposed to use one that can be supported on the base, so the oil will not run out...and is slightly fluted on one end to hold the wick. The wick was supposed to be any type of fibrous natural substance. You are supposed to be able to use any type of oil or fat. We tried first to use plant fibers and some yarn... We tried Canola Oil first, because I had some in the cabinet that I wanted to get rid of... We filled the shell with the canola oil...I did steady it using a box lid from a jewelry gift box. W
