I am hoping some experienced challah bakers can chime in here:
I have a 2lb bread machine which I am planning to use to make dough. I did this successfully last week and got 4 small challot out of it. The recipe used about 4.5-5 cups of flour.
I'd really like to make enough to take challah and make the bracha, even if it means making a couple batches. How would I do this exactly?
TIA!

My mother used to do this. She'd put a double recipe in the machine and try to remember to remove it to a bowl before it uverflowed when rising. Then put in a second batch.
I do it by hand. Much cleaner than my mother's method! But what concerns me is that each batch of dough has risen for a different amount of time. Over risen dough makes inferior challah IME.

Thanks for your reply.
Do you think I could refrigerate the first batch while making the second?

Thanks. May try this.
Would I take the challah from the total final volume of dough, before braiding?
Now that I think about it, I wonder if I would even get enough flour into 2 batches to take challah...
