Challah

Homemade challah bread

Every holiday season, I like to make a few loaves of challah. It is so delicious- eggy and sweet! Here is the recipe I use; the only thing I do differently is I use 1 egg and 3 egg yolks instead of 3 eggs. Extra honey is always good, too!

Proofing the yeast

Mixing it up

After adding flour, the dough comes together
