Challah

Oh Kathy, I do not understand why it has taken me so long to post this recipe. I found a great bread book at the library several months ago titled Secrets of Jewish Baker. I've only tried this challah recipe, but it is good enough to convince me that I cannot live without this book. Challah makes the best toast, and the best french toast. The only tricky part is the braiding, but it is forgiving and you can braid and unbraid several times until you get it right. I prefer to not use seeds on the top, but I am sure it would be lovely either way. Make this bread and prepare to become addicted. Toasting it is the key!

Yay! I made my usual wheat bread this week and thought about switching things up sometime soon. This will be PERFECT.

Your comment about us living far away (and being sad about that) made my day. I have a feeling we'd have lots of good conversations—although you would definitely remain the better cook.
