Last year, I had a personal goal of mastering a variety of soups. This year, it’s the year of kick ass bread. I think I can do it, but there is a little more science involved with bread, so there’s not always a guarantee that everything will turn out OK. So, imagine my glee when my first attempt at challah bread turned out lovely. I followed the recipe out of my 2007 The Best of America’s Test Kitchen cookbook, which you can’t access on their site without a membership, but I did find the same recipe here if you would like to make your house smell divinely of fresh baked challah bread. You can let me know how it goes…

Give Me a Big Challah!

Can I tell you how much I love Challah bread?! Yummy. I'm heading over to the blogroll to add you in. Smooches love.
I spent a year working with bread art.. one of my favorites was a round bread loave,, then you used the extra bread dough and scissors to cut the shapes to make a scene..I loved doing the farm scenes on the top of the round bread..
My family and friends always thought they added such a nice touch to the table settings..and the extra butter used to hold it all together until it baked..made it ummmm ummmmm good....
I always liked making homemade bread...it may be one of the few things I can cook..
I really like this recipe. Maya also has this great video showing how to do a six strand braided challah.
