Challah Bread

Post by fabindia »

Made a Challah braided loaf today. It's a traditional Jewish bread. Made with eggs, which makes a little cake-like and sweet. Nice though, will make it again.

That looks so good. How many strands in that plait? I must say that everything that you show us looks so impressive.

I used a 5 strand plait, pretty simply really. I did see one recipe for Challah bread where they divided the dough into 2/3rds and 1/3rd. They then did a 3 strand plait with each so they had a large loaf and a smaller on and then put the smaller one on top of the larger one to prove. It turned out pretty impressive. I shall try it next weekend a post a pic if it turns out OK :-D

Well, I baked a massive loaf last night, probably nearly a kilo of flour and a double decker! I would have taken a picture but had all the family round tonight plus the two little kids from next door and they have eaten it all before I could take a photo.

That does look good. Eggs are no problem so I'll have to see if I can find the recipe. Our son is coming to stay the weekend after next and, like me, he'll eat any sort of bread. He did draw the line at pumpernickel now that I come to remember.
