Challah


I think making bread is also one of the arts, like make pottery. They are fun to make by hand; touching, kneading, shaping... 
I have my homemade whole wheat bread every morning. 
But this week, we tried making a different one -  Challah, a Jewish bread.


Steve divided the dough into 4 strands, and he couldn't figure out to braid them.


I helped him out.


Then we brushed with an egg wash and sprinkled poppy seeds.


Quality control samples.
I toasted the bread and ate it with butter for breakfast.
