    Here is my challah recipe for everyone asking!
    ABBEY’S FAMOUS CHALLAH
    1 cup warm water (105-110 F)
    1 tbsp instant yeast
    3 tbsp sugar
    1 whole egg
    2 egg yolks
    1 tbsp vegetable oil
    ¼ cup melted butter
    ¼ cup white sugar
    5 tbsp honey
    3.5 cup all purpose flour
    1 tsp salt
    Topping:
    1 beaten egg mixed with 2 tsp honey
    Sweet:
    2.5 tbsp all purpose flour
    1.5 tbsp white sugar
    1 tbsp brown sugar
    1 tbsp butter, very soft
    OR
    Savoury:
    Sesame seeds
    1.Combine warm water with sugar and mix. Add yeast, stir and sit for 5-10 min.
    2.To a stand mixer bowl fitted with the paddle, add eggs, oil, butter and mix. Then add sugar, honey, and the bloomed yeast. Gently mix.
    3.Add 1 cup of flour to the mix along with the salt and mix until combined. Then add remaining, about ½ cup at a time. Mix until combined, then change to the dough hook. Kneed with dough hook for 5 min on medium.
    4.Transfer to a well floured surface and kneed manually for another 5 minutes. It is a very sticky dough but try to add the least amount of flour you can to still work with it.
    5.Put the dough in an oiled bowl and cover for 2 hours (should double) in a warm spot.
    6.Divide in half, and then each half into three strands. Braid into 2 loaves. Put each loaf onto a baking tray lined with parchment and cover with a towel in a warm place for 1 hr.
    7.Preheat oven to 350 F.
    8.Brush the loaves with egg honey mixture. Mix together the flour, sugars and butter for the streusel and top one loaf with that. And sprinkle the other one with sesame seeds. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature is 190 F. Do not over bake!!!

    Can I just say - I so appreciate how you respect your children’s privacy. Children are human beings with rights of their own and it’s so refreshing to see someone in a public career who is careful about respecting that. Kudos to you! You sound like a great mom :)

    I have tremendous amount of respect for you for being open about things people don't talk about like nipple stimulator and the dilator machine pump thing you got from Germany. (You actually introduced me to those items, so THANK YOU!!) Giving us women a play by play of your labor and pregnancy story is incredibly personal and private . Not every mom has the balls to share her story to the public. I commend you for that. I did not know that you can feel the scraping on the inside when the OBGYN pulls out the placenta. I learned more about pregnancy from you than in my reproduction chapter of my biology textbook. I am genuinely grateful for having met you thanks to social media! I hope you welcome me with open arms as your new subscriber!! You are such an amazing 2 in 1 role model for a mom and nutritionist!! I just want to reach out from my phone and hug you!!!!! 🤗❤🤗❤🤗
