    I make challah a LOT. Best hack I’ve probably ever read on BCP is how to braid challahs using the “football hack.”

    I’ve told it to so many people and they’ve all agreed it’s genius. It takes about 10-15 minutes to braid 8+ loaves and the whole thing is no longer a pain.
    Thank you!

    This is an amazing hack as well…
    How to degrease those dirty plastic containers. Fill the container with soap and water and a paper towel. Close it and shake. The oil sticks to the paper towel and your comtainer is left squeaky clean.
