Knead to Know: Baking Challah in a Time of Uncertainty

The world can feel unstable right now, bursting with disruptions to established systems and leaving us constantly wondering what even the next few weeks will bring. In the midst of this uncertainty, baking a weekly (or occasional) challah can foster a sense of stability and a connection to something real.

But what happens when your challah recipe itself is open to interpretation?

Come join us to learn how to make challah dough (from scratch), read ancient and modern texts, and discuss how to adjust to situations where the instructions aren’t clear.

You’ll leave with dough that will rise overnight in the fridge, that you can braid on your own on Thursday or join the group for an optional Zoom-based braiding session. Ingredients will be provided.

No experience necessary. Everyone is welcome. Ingredients will be provided. This gathering will take place in Northwest DC. Specific meet-up location and additional details will be shared with registrants after the registration deadline. Register by May 1st.

the Den Collective serves 20s, 30s, and 40s throughout the Greater Washington Area.
