Challah, also known to many as a Braided Bread, has a rich tradition for each Friday night in the Hebrew nation of Israel.  I enjoy the braiding and decorating of the loaf, because it sets it apart from the regular loaves of bread I make thrthroughout the week. As usual the recipe makes enough to have two loaves of sweet and fluffy bread. One we eat with our pizza and the other makes us get through the weekend without having to bake again! So Mama gets a little break.

This tradition us not only found in the Bible, but the smell and texture of this special loaf of bread helps us to memtally prepare for a restful weekend to enjoy our family!

You don’t have to be Jewish or Hebrew to enjoy this tradition…give it a try.

I made these for a dear DEAR friend who was allowing three of us to invade her home for four straight days!! She and her husband were so gracious to allow us there!

They are easy and fun to make…..

Just a variation of my practically “Fool Proof Whole Wheat Bread” Recipe… here

Just add 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 2 more TBS organic sugar to the dough – be sure the oil is not a strong olive oil…I like coconut or canola. Then make as usual in bread machine.

Before shaping…melt 3/4 stick of butter then remove from heat. Add 1/4 C pecans, 1/4 C brown sugar (or sucanat) and 1/4 C organic sugar and 2 TBS fresh milled flour. Mix.

Roll dough out in a rectangle. Spread goo on all but about the last two inches of the horizontal (longest) side…this is your end.

Roll in upon itself until you come to the ‘dry’ two inches. Pinch and seal. Slice and place in a greased pan. Rise 30 mins. Bake on 350 for 15-18 minutes.

Then just enJOY!

Newsletter due out this week with this recipe!!

Play with your food!

Sure there are some hard and fast ones like: Yeast breads need yeast. Too much salt is pretty gross. But for many ‘rules’ there are acceptations.

Take things like altitude and humidity into consideration. A loaf of bread baked at 3500 feet above sea level will not be the same as one baked AT sea level. Tweak a recipe.

Most recipes are written for sea level and adjusted for differing altitudes. Don’t let that keep you in a box though, break out of the rules of recipes and tweak. Just keep good notes (that’s my downfall, I often play but forget what I did when it worked!).

Have fun. Learn by playing with your food.
Just be prepared to be VERY creative if it doesn’t work out and not waste it by tossing it in the trash.

Best Blessings and enJOY learning more!

First simply substitute the flour in your recipe for 100% freshly milled flour. It’s whole grain and provides all the nutrients intended in the grain.

Now, get your recipe, a zip lock bag, a measuring cup or bowl with a lid.

In the zip lock bag, put all your dry ingredients and shake.

In the bowl/covered measuring cup, put all your wet/moist ingredients and mix.

Pop both into the refrigerator and in the morning, combine just until moist.

Place in greased muffin tins in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes!

Tah-Dah! Fast food that’s good for you!
