A thanksgiving bounty! TBBA's anadama loaves and a cranberry-walnut celebration double braid.

I baked my first challah last Thursday and wanted to share.

Although I've been practicing making sourdough bread, this was my very first attempt at something different. I was thrilled how this turned out. The first loaf was completely devoured in a matter of minutes by family and friends. I sent this second loaf of the batch off with friends, but not before taking a couple of pictures of it. Kinda wish I had cut it open to see how it looked inside....maybe next time. :)

Some fancy braid here.
