It's a while since I've posted anything on imamother.com and last time I posted I was a newbie, so in a sense I still am. Especially to this particular forum. Hope someone can help ASAP.
I was desparately searching the web for a diagram for how to shape a bird challoh, but apparently, no such animal exists (please excuse the pun). I make round, ladder, and bird Challohs every year for the chagim and my kids expect it, but they always laugh at the bird because it usually looks a lot like a turtle.
I made round ones yesterday, and the batch that is now rising I can turn into ladders, but I still have time to get my question answered before tomorrow's batch of dough Wink
Can someone please advise?
How does one shape the elusive bird challoh????
Tizku L'Mitzvot,

I found this image for a hamsa challa, but it looks like a bird also.

I can see where the Hamsa shape works. Not a bad idea. Thanks, justanothermother.

These were the closest thing to a bird I've made in 27 years! Thank you so much!

why don't you just pretend it's playdough and make your own shape ...

'Cause playdough STAYS. It's darn hard to get challah to hold a shape.
