And just like that, so ends another week of #stayathome shenanigans 😅.
For the encore grand finale .....

CHALLAH......
The traditional Jewish bread is usually made for Shabbat (Judaism's day of rest and seventh day of the week.).
After making this multi-step,
labor-intense,
multiple kneading/rising process,
I've concluded that this is without-a-doubt an act of LOVE.
Prepping time = 4 hours
Cooking time = 45 minutes
This has been a bucket-list baking item for me for some time.
With no place to go, the timing was perfect.
The flavor and shape of this eggy bread make for a superior end result that melts in your mouth.
CHALLAH PART 1:how to make challah dough (recipe here) This recipe makes 2 regular challahs.
Fresh yeast is a must! and it needs to activate with warm water, sugar, before adding to other ingredients.(usually about 10 minutes)
Shape into a ball and let rise.
Yes, there was a tutorial provided in this recipe for braiding! 😁
CHALLAH Part 2: how to braid challah ( there was the standard triple braid, then the 4-strand Challah, and then the 6-strand Challah!)
The fun part begins with the braiding.
Then this👆👆👆 rises AGAIN.
Bake 20 minutes, take out of oven, brush with egg wash, and continue baking for 20 more minutes.
The aroma of this bread was intoxicatingly pleasing.💓
Happy Baking............. and yes, we froze one of the loaves! 😃
