Challah
I am beginning to prepare my Christmas baskets for my neighbors and I thought I would give this challah a test run to see how it fit into my plans. This is truly one of the most beautiful loaves of bread I have ever made. The crust is firm yet not too hard and the crumb is very, very good and moist. An easy bread to make; requiring time but not a whole lot of work, it makes the perfect bread to toast or maybe make a baked French toast breakfast for your family.
The challah makes a wonderful addition to our bread collection at emealsforyou.com.
