\"Baked<\/a><\/p>\n

This weekend I baked my first Challah bread! \u00a0It was really fun and produces a spectacular result with less work than I’d expected.<\/p>\n

This recipe from Smitten Kitchen<\/a> worked out really well. \u00a0Her instructions are very detailed so if you’re going to try this yourself, you should really go see her site.<\/p>\n

For braiding strategy I turned to youtube. \u00a0This video by MayaSophia<\/a> demonstrates the technique I used very clearly. \u00a0In her video she details a fancy seed smearing method, I settled for sprinkling.<\/p>\n

My oven was a tad too hot (75\u00b0F) and I didn’t have a proper brush for the egg wash (used a paper towel). \u00a0That probably accounts for the uneven coloration. \u00a0Next time I will use the correct temperature and apply the second second of egg wash right before it goes in the oven with a proper brush!<\/p>\n

Still tasted fine: I smeared mine with honey and sprinkled with a little salt. \u00a0Delicious!<\/p>\n
