spray the rack with cooking oil spray first (preferred) or put flour on it then put challa on it

If you own the oven and you do that, you should in that case tovel the oven racks.

I meant put foil on the oven rack first and then do that

you can also use baking stones

that's just for the dough you can bake it however you like, I would suggest knead the dough well to take out any bubbles, then punch it down and let it rise for an 1/2 hour /1 hour, then prepare oven at 275 cover the oven rack with foil, and spray it with cooking spray oil /flour, also put that on your hands too, so dough doesn't stick to them, shape the dough how you like it but knead each piece well to take out any bubbles (knead each piece towards inside of your hand), put it in the oven for 25 minutes/ 1 hour depending on size of the challa, check on it to make sure it doesn't get overdone.(to check stick knife inside of challa). (If using 2 racks bottom one will usually get done first also don't put challa on the edges of the rack as they might "burn")
Enjoy and have a good shabbos!

That would ruin the challah, no?
I (gently) bump the bottom of challah, if it sounds hollow its done

Thanks. I'll let you know how it turns out

I usually just buy ground chuck and make my own patties. a little cleaner

[3yummyboys]

We used to do that but I got a meat grinder and want to try it
