Chef John does it again! The flavors in the chicken concoction were perfect

Delicious! A great first, braided challah. We added 1/2 cup flour (it was all-purpose) as suggested by others, 580 grams in total on a kitchen scale. Also we used 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted, and 1/4 cup oil. Making sure it wasn’t hotter than 110’ before adding, to protect the yeast.

Wanted to love this but mine turn

Made about 30, 2” cutouts. I made them as directed and was pleased by the soft, quickly rollable dough. I had been worried that the kneading - rolling - cutting would take a lot more time than drop cookies, but it hardly did. Even without chilling, the dough didn’t put up a sticky fight with my pin. I added the caraway seeds, they’re for a group of adults - for kids I might leave them out, but the dough would be bland without them. Next time, I might add a bit of grated orange rind to complement the caraway! A nicely unusual keeper for my recipe collection.

Used less tahini, microwaved the edamame for 2-1/2 mins, it was delish!
