The Bread Baker’s Apprentice, Challah

Challah bread is my absolute favorite bread bake. I give thanks to: Nicole, for offering this baking challenge(www.pinchmysalt.com), and to Peter Reinhart (www.PeterReinhart.typepad.com), for such an ethereal journey of all things, flour and egg.

How do I love thee?

Sheryl, thanks for the compliment. I am a bit slow on learning anything beyond a three strand, but maybe before my unborn grandchildren graduate college I’ll say otherwise. ;)

Tammy, you be so kind! ty :)

AnneMarie, awe shucks, you got me blushing! ;)

Salt, lol..I am so dense. I live in TX and failed to even ‘notice’ the horseshoe. I must have been begging for luck, on this bake, somewhere in the recesses of my gray matter. ;)

zainab, thanks for enjoying the handiwork. It’s fun to braid. :)

Janice, thanks for visiting my blog. :) It took me awhile, but only because this is to be savored, not rushed. Challah is my ‘go-to’ when I need something extra special. This recipe was a CHARM!

Susie, you sweet girl…thanks. This bread challenge is wonderful in so many ways. :) Happy bakes 2U2!

Holy Cow! Absolutely stunning. What a way to “bring up the rear!” Although I doubt you’re the last challenger to make the Challah . . .
