Esty’s Favorite Round Challah Braids for Rosh Hashanah
These are the round challah braids Esty comes back to every Rosh Hashanah. In this comprehensive tutorial, she walks through seven tried-and-true shapes, with practical braiding tips that make them easier to pull off at home, whether you want something simple or a little more impressive for the Yom Tov table.
Esty’s Sweet Crumb Topping

Best show ever!! Thank u!!
Learned so much. I do over and under with 6. It’s very simple and you tuck the braids under so it gives same effect as adding extra piece of dough in center like Esty does.
