How to Make a 3 Strand Challah Braid<br />
A three strand braid is typically the easiest braid to make because this braid<br />
is often used to braid hair, and is a pattern that most people are familiar<br />
with. For this braid, divide the dough into three strands and stretch them<br />
out carefully until they are of an even thickness all the way down. Start<br />
your braid from the center of the strands to give both ends of the loaf a<br />
finished look.<br />
1. Take the left strand (1) and cross it over the middle strand (2).<br />
2. Take the right strand (3) and cross it over the middle strand (2).<br />
3. Repeat crossing left (1) over center (2), followed by right (3) over<br />
center (2) until you reach the end.<br />
4. Pinch the ends together to seal the loaf, then repeat the process<br />
going up the rest of the dough. There is no need to keep track of<br />
which strand was originally number 1, 2 or 3 as you go because the<br />
pattern is the same the entire time.<br />
