Yesterday I canceled all of our plans to leave the house since a "blizzard" was on its way. I won't lie, I was looking forward to being hunkered down in my little house on the prairie with my family, while the snow piled up outside. Well, as life outside my house continued... with NO SNOW in site, I baked bread.
Being inspired after my "introduction" to
The Pioneer Woman by
Stefanie, I thought that perhaps...just maybe....in some small (
very small) way, I could photograph & beautifully display on my blog my own homemade creation.
Sure.
I have a really nice camera that I paid a lot of money for (after being highly frustrated by not being able to capture my boys' great basketball moves) but I have no idea how to use any of the fancy shmancy settings. But I'm trying.
So here is my adventure in making the most incredible challah bread (a wonderful Jewish bread with lots of eggs and butter....so forget about it if you care about calories, which I do not).
Fresh eggs (of course)
Oh the magic of yeast...it just makes me happy.
Mixing well....
Ready for a toasty hot oven
Done! Not exactly Goodhousekeeping picturesque but let me tell ya, it is good!!
Ok, so I'm no Pioneer Woman but it was fun anyway and oh-so-yummy!
Here is the link to the recipe! Note that it says to use a loaf pan...when I just use one, it gets WAY TOO BIG and overflows. So I would advise you use two (unless you have a big loaf pan) or try another method.
