ughh.......Joe da DC Doughboy...........do you really think that I'm going to wish you luck with a bread recipe???? you are going to not only make a great challah but you will improve on it.........post your beautiful pics when you finish.....I love challah
Wow, beautiful Joe. Could you tell me this at least? Is it an egg loaf base? I can use my own recipe if I know that basic fact.
Today I need to bake a dessert. I'm a bit torn. I'm in the mood for something really rich and sinfully decadent but I'm not sure I'll have the time. I'll post back in an hour or so with the decision.
OK, here's my first attempt at braided Challah...
Just before jumping into the oven...
After 35 minutes in the tanning bed....
Forgive me, but I couldn't wait. Me and DS attacked this loaf and tried it plain, with butter and toasted, and now we're planning on making french toast. OMG, is this delicious...
Definitely going to keep this recipe close at hand. It will be a beautiful loaf to take to my brother's home for Thanksgiving. Better make that 2 or three loaves.
I would post the recipe, but it came from Pie Susan to me via PM. If you want the recipe, drop her a PM.

Made a Sourdough No Knead last night. Joe's Challah is inspiring, I think I'll have to try one of those soon.
How was the sourdough No Knead? I'm not crazy about it, and it really needs a kick in the pants to get any height from it, at least that's what happens when I have made it.
