we just moved to eretz yisroel and I have a smaller oven than I had in America. I still want to make 5-6 pounds challah, but I need to do it in shifts, because I need proper circulation in the oven and I don't have enough room in my oven for all the dough at the same time.
how should I bake in in shifts, meaning, what should I do with the dough while the first batch is baking? I don't want it to rise too much that it collapses?
what do you all do if you have a small oven and you want to make a lot of challah
I hope my question is clear
any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated
thank you

When I make a lot of challah at one time I bake in shifts too. I have one oven and can only fit 2 sheets at a time of challah. I've just left my challah on the table while baking in batches, it comes out fine. I also make smaller size challahs. I sometimes make pull apart style challahs and find I can fit 3 pans on one rack when I do that, so I can bake more at one time. If you're concerned about rising too much, I think you should be able to store some of dough in the frig. It'll still rise, but much slower.

You can refrigerate the shaped dough, take out about 10 minutes before ready to put in oven.
