Holla if you want some Challah! I was talking on the phone with my mom the other day about baking and cooking. I told her I wanted to make some bread, but she laughed at me and told me it is very hard. She told me a story about her first time making bread, but ended up making some weapons instead. Her bread turned out soo hard, it could have hurt somebody. I considered this a mission. If I can succeed with bread, I will succeed in the kitchen. The Jew in me decided to make some challah. I found a good recipe at Allrecipes.com. The first thing I have to say about making bread is you have to have PATIENCE and MUSCLES! I thing my biceps just grew from all the whisking and kneading of dough. This recipe took many hours to make, but it was fairly easy. The bread was my side project throughout the day as I did other housekeeping like laundry. Even with all the kneading and hours of waiting for the bread to rise, i SUCCEEDED! The only problem I had was burning the bottom of the challah. The recipe had called for me to put it in the oven for 40 mins, but after 30 mins I took it out and it was already burnt! A lesson learned for the future, my oven is hot hot hot. Enjoy the delicious recipe. In the future, I would cut the recipe in half and make only 1 loaf: INGREDIENTS 2 1/2 cups warm water 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 1/2 cup honey 4 tablespoons vegetable oil 3 Eggs 1 tablespoon salt 8 cups unbleached all-purpose flour DIRECTIONS In a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water Beat in the honey, oil, 2 eggs, and salt Add the flour, one cup at a time, beat the mixture after each cup of flour. At about cup 4 of flour, I found it was too hard to mix anymore and I started kneading with each additional cup of flour until I hit the 8 cups Cover with a damp paper towel and let rise for 1 1/2 hours Divide dough in half and knead each for 5 mins and add flour so the dough doesn’t get sticky (I needed a good amount of extra flour) Divide each half into thirds and braid into a challah shape Grease two baking sheets and place the braid dough on them Cover the braided flour with a moist paper towel and let rise for another hour Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Beat the last egg and brush the egg on each braid (be generous) Bake for about 25 mins (The recipe says 40, but mine burned at 30) Cool on a rack for 1 hour

Holla if you want some Challah!

I was talking on the phone with my mom the other day about baking and cooking. I told her I wanted to make some bread, but she laughed at me and told me it is very hard. She told me a story about her first time making bread, but ended up making some weapons instead. Her bread turned out soo hard, it could have hurt somebody. I considered this a mission. If I can succeed with bread, I will succeed in the kitchen. The Jew in me decided to make some challah. I found a good recipe at Allrecipes.com.

The first thing I have to say about making bread is you have to have PATIENCE and MUSCLES! I thing my biceps just grew from all the whisking and kneading of dough. This recipe took many hours to make, but it was fairly easy. The bread was my side project throughout the day as I did other housekeeping like laundry. Even with all the kneading and hours of waiting for the bread to rise, i SUCCEEDED! The only problem I had was burning the bottom of the challah. The recipe had called for me to put it in the oven for 40 mins, but after 30 mins I took it out and it was already burnt! A lesson learned for the future, my oven is hot hot hot. Enjoy the delicious recipe. In the future, I would cut the recipe in half and make only 1 loaf:

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups warm water

1 tablespoon active dry yeast

1/2 cup honey

4 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 Eggs

1 tablespoon salt

8 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water
  2. Beat in the honey, oil, 2 eggs, and salt
  3. Add the flour, one cup at a time, beat the mixture after each cup of flour. At about cup 4 of flour, I found it was too hard to mix anymore and I started kneading with each additional cup of flour until I hit the 8 cups
  4. Cover with a damp paper towel and let rise for 1 1/2 hours
  5. Divide dough in half and knead each for 5 mins and add flour so the dough doesn’t get sticky (I needed a good amount of extra flour)
  6. Divide each half into thirds and braid into a challah shape
  7. Grease two baking sheets and place the braid dough on them
  8. Cover the braided flour with a moist paper towel and let rise for another hour
  9. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
  10. Beat the last egg and brush the egg on each braid (be generous)
  11. Bake for about 25 mins (The recipe says 40, but mine burned at 30)
  12. Cool on a rack for 1 hour
