Simple Flowers And Leaves Decorated Challah

I am rushing to post this as there is still cooking to be done for the holiday of Shavuot, which we are welcoming tonight! Round braided challahs decorated with simple flowers and leaves really do make your holiday table special, so if you have a few extra minutes, give it a try, even for just one challah! This design is quite simple to make, and if you follow the instructions, I do think you’ll be happy with the results! Trust me, I’ve been doing this for years, with varied results, and this design actually looks good after baking as well, which many just do not. So make some round braided challahs using my 4 strand round challah tutorial, set aside a grapefruit sized piece for the decorations, and keep on reading!

Okay friends the flowers are simply coils, and the leaves are made by cutting long leaf shapes from the thinnest dough you can roll and still life off the counter. Make an arrangement as seen here, add lots of little balls, which really add that extra touch, poke holes here and there, and don’t fuss too much!
And look at this, gorgeous enough, right? Have a wonderful Shavout holiday, see you on the other side of receiving the Torah!!
