bloviatrix Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 Boy and I made challot in advance of Shavuot which begins tonight. I attempted a 7 Heavens challah in celebration of the holiday (the receiving of the torah) by adding a ladder, the 10 commandments tablets, and a rose). Boy made a 5-strand braid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieL Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Love the touch of sprinkles. Looks like he's going for a Pride challah. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloviatrix Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 @StephanieL - that actually occurred to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloviatrix Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 Kid went a little crazy trying some new braiding techniques. On the top is an 8-strand inspired by the IG feed called A Casa Di Francesca. Lower loaf was supposed to be a variation on the three-strand where you use double strands but the definition disappeared during the second rise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maison rustique Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Took a huge step. I have had Hemingway, my starter from a dear friend who is longer with us, for a few years and have kept it going even though I haven't baked much the past few years with all the turmoil. I have a bit in the fridge on the off chance that the temp drops below 75 any time soon (ha ha) but I have dried much of it for longer term storage. I just don't see me baking much until I am through with house crap. I call it Hemingway because it was the son of my friend's starter that she grew from scratch. She called hers Kevin. Mine is Hemingway because Kevin's son also rises. Sleep well Hemingway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloviatrix Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 The boy and I went to a challah bake last night. This was part of the Week of Goodness organized by the parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin who has been held hostage since October 7. We brought home enough dough to make 3 500gr loaves. At top is a 5 strand braid, on the lower left is a 4-strand and the lower right was a 6 strand braided round that didn't hold its shape. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloviatrix Posted July 21 Author Share Posted July 21 Husband raved about the challah and said it was the best we ever made. He's requested that I use this recipe going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieL Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 What was different about these loaves vs. the ones you usually make? Longer baking time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloviatrix Posted October 2 Author Share Posted October 2 Rosh Hashanah challot. Both have cinnamon crumb, but the one on the right (in the baked photo) is stuffed with honey-braised apples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloviatrix Posted October 6 Author Share Posted October 6 Holy shit, the apple stuffed challah was one of the best of things I have ever eaten. Unfortunately no photo of the inside because it was the holiday, but the loaf was demolished at the meal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloviatrix Posted October 16 Author Share Posted October 16 More holidays means more challah. The top two are stuffed with the honey braised apples and the one lower one (in the middle) has raisins. They're dark because I added some honey to the egg wash. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloviatrix Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 Finally nailed the 5-strand braid. Bottom has a Za'atar coated challah. You can really see the triangular shape this braid produces in the top photo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a hack from the Challah Prince - I rolled the strands on a damp piece of paper towel and then rolled in za'atar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
