Challah Back Girl

Well, it's been quite a while since I last posted. Things like, oh, taking part of the bar exam, getting a bad stomach flu, and just general business have kept me away. I didn't even look at my own blog for over a month. I felt a little bad, neglecting it like an unloved house plant.

But now I'm back, baby, and I've got plenty of things to talk about, including a visit to Ashley's, a birthday dinner party, and a home-cooked high-class Valentine's dinner (yes, V-Day).

I have quite a lot of things backed up and plenty of pictures and recipes (get ready for Guiness ice cream!), but I thought a good welcome back recipe would be this phenomenal yet simple challah bread. This has been one of my favorite breads for a long time, and I love tearing apart its pieces. I also recently discovered that sliced challah, with all its buttery goodness, makes a great grilled cheese sandwich.

Enjoy! :)

The challah bread looks terrific and I can't wait to try it. I bake 4-6 loaves of bread per week--always the ultra-easy no-knead Dutch oven recipe. But this looks like a new adventure.

Sandwiches (especially grilled ones, and toast and French toast) on "sto'-bought" bread aren't even in the same league as those made with real bread from your own oven.

Thanks for the article and recipe.

Is it just me then?

Am I the only foodie that finds the entire bread baking ordeal a magnificant pain in the ass?

Am I too impatient? Is it adult ADD or sheer laziness?

Next time save some for French toast. YUMMMMM.
