Baking: Challah

Challah- the celebratory bread of the Jews. An apt bread to celebrate mother's day with:)

This bread is a little sweet and a little chewy as sugar and honey are added to the basic bread making ingredients of flour, yeast, salt and water. 

Challah Dough- this complicated design is achieved by coiling plaited dough. 

Baked till golden brown:)

This was made with a recipe from a cookbook instructing one on the art of baking artisan bread- i'm embarking on a learning journey to perfect the art and science of baking artisan bread.

You know, in France, by law, any bread passed off as a "baguette" may only contain 4 ingredients?
