Stephanie Whitehorn, Palm Beach's Challah Chick

Stephanie built her reputation baking soft, golden, hand-braided challah for the Hamptons through her original bakery, White Horn Bake House. Now based in Palm Beach Gardens, she's traded the retail counter for the kitchen table — teaching families, friend groups, and congregations throughout Palm Beach County how to mix, braid, and bake challah from scratch.

Every class is hands-in-the-dough: from braiding to making the dough from scratch, you'll walk away with a fresh-baked loaf, dough for next week, and a skill you'll use for every Shabbat and holiday to come.

How It Works

A Baking Class That Comes to You

No commercial kitchen required — Challah Chick brings everything needed to turn your kitchen counter into a hands-on braiding station.

1

Invite Challah Chick

Pick your space — your home, your synagogue, or your community center — and a date that works for your group.

2

She Brings It All

Stephanie arrives with freshly prepared dough, ingredients, tools, and recipe cards — no shopping or prep for you.

3

Braid & Make Dough

Learn to braid with her ready-made dough, then learn to make the dough from scratch.

4

Bake & Take Home

Your loaf bakes golden and goes home with you — along with dough to freeze for next week's challah.

Every guest walks out with two things

1. A fully baked challah. Stephanie brings prepared dough so you can learn to braid; it's baked during class and you take the loaf home.

2. Dough for next week. You'll also learn to make the dough yourself, then take a portion home to freeze so you can bake your own challah the following week.

To bake it: move the frozen dough to the refrigerator 24 hours ahead, then let it sit out about an hour before braiding. See the FAQ for full steps.

FAQ

Challah Classes in Palm Beach County: Common Questions

Where do Challah Chick classes take place?

Wherever your group gathers, anywhere in Palm Beach County — Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, Jupiter, Wellington, Boca Raton, and beyond. Stephanie brings the full class to your home, synagogue, or community space.

Do I need any baking experience?

None at all. Classes are designed for complete beginners through experienced home bakers, and every step is demonstrated hands-on.

What's included in a Challah Chick class?

All ingredients, tools, and recipe cards, plus prepared dough for braiding. Every guest takes home a fully baked challah and a portion of dough to freeze for next week — just thaw it in the refrigerator 24 hours before baking. You don't need to shop or prep anything in advance.

What do I do with the dough I take home?

Keep it frozen as an unbraided ball, sealed in an oiled freezer bag with the air pressed out, and use it within about 3 months. The day before you want to bake, move it to the refrigerator for 24 hours. On baking day, let it sit out for about an hour, braid it just like in class, let it rise until puffy (often a little slower than fresh dough), brush with egg wash, and bake. Don't refreeze dough once it has thawed. Your recipe card has the oven temperature and time.

Can I learn specialty flavors or advanced braiding?

Yes, as add-on classes. Every standard class teaches the classic challah. A Specialty Flavor class features one flavor of your choice (cinnamon roll, pretzel, chocolate chip, or scallion pancake) and is +$5 per person. An Advanced Braiding Techniques class is also +$5 per person.

How far in advance should I book a class?

We recommend booking at least 2 weeks ahead, and earlier around the High Holidays and other busy Jewish calendar dates.
