Challah

Hello! This is my first bread blog post here, so I hope I do this right (uploading pictures and such.)


We've been watching our neighbors chickens and have eggs by the dozen right now! What to do? Well, I made some challah! (And quiches, and meringues, and lemon curd, and egg noodles, etc;....:))

Anyway, I often spend my weekend mornings scrolling through all of the beautiful breads here on the fresh loaf, looking for inspiration for my week of bread. I thought I'd finally contribute my own. Now I know this loaf of challah is nothing fancy - and my braiding technique could certainly use some work - but I was pretty darn proud of it! (I usually shy away from braided breads - my last few attempts were certainly not photo worthy!)

Yikes!

edit next day:

I did neglect to mention that it is a beautiful looking bread and also think the braiding is a work of art.  Did not want to let that pass unstated.

Didn't think of that, good thing I'm not Jewish! (Sorry to those of you who couldn't have challah this week! :()
