Yes, I started doing that with a regular braid years ago, seemed to work as well and much faster.

Thanks so much for this video! This will be my first attempt at a round challah with raisins (I make regular challah without raisins every Friday). I love your technique inserting the raisins. Will do this as soon as my dough is out of the bread machine.

I did one with apples. I cut them into thin pieces and incorporated them into the braid as with raisins. Sprinkle the top with a little cinnamon-sugar mixture for a sweet treat.
Very helpful
I'm glad it came in handy. Just finished my third and fourth for the season, and it goes on!
@@SourdoughSimpleton wonderful! I am making them for my first time (4 of them) adding raisins and braiding this way.
Thank you! I never thought to cut the ropes that way--seems like a real time saver!

@@SourdoughSimpleton Proofing now. Will take a photo and share when it's done!
Wow amazing
Thanks, it's just a technique to learn, not that complicated, and you can impress your friends!
what would you recommend if you wanted to add apples to the Challah, too?

@@SourdoughSimpleton super. No need to soak them then? Cool. Appreciate your help.
Quicker but not the best very thick and bready not very crispy , but that’s for taking your time to post
You’re welcome 😊
