Thursday I made Challah for a friend who was coming into town (and then didn't). Of all the breads I've made this was hubby's favorite so I made a loaf for home too. We had a weekend trip to New Orleans planned so I made a loaf for that too. Yep, I made 3 loaves of Challah. The dough rising over the bowl in the morning was quite entertaining.
After making the dough and letting it rise slowly in the fridge over night I divided it into the 3 parts and braided each one.
bread about to be braided looks like half an octopus
a little bit braided
mostly braided
all braided!
Then they got an egg wash and rose for an hour.

After an hour they got another egg wash and some poppy seeds. Then they rose for another hour before getting baked.
