Notes
It is a mitzvah (good deed) to dedicate a piece of the dough upon making challah. The golf-size portion is then burned in the bottom of the oven or on the stove top until blackened. The following blessing is recited:
Hebrew transliteration: Barukh Ata Hashem Elohenu Melekh ha’olam asher kideshanu bemitzvotav v’tzivanu l’hafrish hallah min a’isah.
Translation: Blessed are Thou Eternal our God, King of the universe, Who has hallowed us by Thy commandments and commanded us to separate the hallah from the dough
