Holla for Challah

I love to make challah bread. Although I'm not Jewish, it is the only bread that I can make. Really. It is my favorite recipe from a little Fleishmann's yeast cookbook, and I originally chose to make it because it was braided. My thoughts: "OOOh, pretty ..."



 So it was just perfect when Today's Charlotte Woman asked me to interview Sharon Katz --  a master challah bread baker. Sharon was a wonderful interview. She was fun, vibrant, intelligent, and very practical about her baking skill. I got to research a little food history as well (always fun) and Sharon got a photo shoot with her grandson Eli. Win win.

Try out Sharon's recipe, or take a look at mine. If the holidays put you in a baking mood, why not try challah?
