#1 question of the month!
Pride month has so many people wanting to color their dough! If you don’t want to have tons of red challahs, orange challahs, yellow challahs, etc around, you need to either color your dough after your dough has risen and knead coloring into each piece of dough, or color 6 mini challah recipes as they come together!
For colored dough I always recommend my vegan recipe so the yolks don’t mess with the color-so with that in mind, create the 6 mini challah recipes
Individual Color Batches
Into each bowl, add:
* Scant ¾ cup bread flour
* 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp oil
* 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp sugar
* ⅓ tsp table salt
* ½ tsp instant yeast
• 3-4 Tbsp water as needed
Add 1–2 drops of food gel coloring (or natural food coloring) and knead, adding water, flour, or both as needed, until a smooth dough forms and the color is fully incorporated. Cover and let rise for 90 minutes before shaping.
You also can use my whole vegan recipe (message if you need it!) but divide it by putting the wet ingredients in one bowl, and dry ingredients into another. Then pour approximately 1/6 of each into 6 different bowls. Add the coloring and continue as written above.
