Challah Bread

Anyone like this stuff? Ever made it?

I have 2 loaves proofing now, going into the oven in a bit....

 

I loveeeee challah...

Here's a tip, use it for french toast... mmmmmm

 

Never heard of it...

 

its a Jewish bread.... its got butter, eggs and honey in it, chewy and yummy!

this lady cant find it anywhere here local, so she offered to pay $5 a loaf if I made it for her of course she'll get them for free. I LOVE making breads, just not at home really.

 

I love challah bread! I'm Jewish and we eat it every Shabbos. I like it plain, or even with some lox on it.

 

I Guarantee if she went to a temple they would make some. But if youre gettingg some cash, hey why not!

 

Never had any, but if you send me a loaf I'll try it I'll pay postage

 

I like challah - tasty stuff. Havn't had it in years though, I'm more of a dark rye /pumpernickel fan, although I mostly stick to honey wheat...mostly. I like making my own bread also, Mostly the honey wheat/wheat type, I also make my own pizza dough, its so easy why not, and to this it all started when I started to play with yeast and suger making ..uhh....an alternative fuel source....yea that workds he he

It got me into the "chemisty" of cooking, I like thinking of it as a chemistry project meets art, lol.

 

Sounds good!

X2.

 

try it if you haven't, its good!

 

that's cool!!!

I worked with a master baker for years making breads. I never stopped learning new things. Have made some seriously crazy stuff over the years.

Wild Mushroom Sourdough was the most disgusting thing ever requested from a chef.

 

its sounds damn good

 

ohhh it smells soo good!

Success!

 

Damn that looks tasty!!

 

dude, you should smell the friggin house!!!!

Nothing like fresh bread smell. LOL

 

Post up the recipe. I got some time off and will be doing some baking. I found a recipe for some dope ass beer bread. http://www.recipezaar.com/Lazy-Irish-Beer-Bread-14988

You really taste the beer, so use what you like. For me, the hoppier the better (try New Belgum Brewing's Hopptoberfest if you can find it). This stuff is perfect with a good bowl of chili.
