My grandparents have been in Miami for a month now, and when they came here, my grandpa wasn’t feeling very good. I made a challah for him the first few days he arrived and he loved it so much he asked for a new batch every 2 days.

During the process, my kitchen was covered in chocolate. The process is a bit messy, but WORTH IT. To add more chocolate flavor, I did a 6 braid challah.

  2. Add the sugar, egg, oil, flour, and salt and mix using your dough hook on medium speed until the dough comes together. If dough is too liquid or too sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time

Assembly
  1. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape into balls. Cover with a dish towel 

  2. Take one ball and roll into a narrow rectangle. Using a spoon or brush, add some of the liquid filling in the to the rectangle leaving a small border, then sprinkle the chocolate chips on top 

  3. Roll this strip into a log (it will be a bit messy),  and repeat this step with the other 5 dough balls 

  4. Place 6 dough strips side by side, and using your fingers, unite the tops. Braid 

  5. Place challah in a cookie tin lined with parchment paper and let the dough rest for 90 minutes
