Another wordless ones, folks. Because! You know! The moving and all!
Anyway, I hereby present, JS's whole wheat challah!
[js]
I think I used this challah recipe from CookingBread.com, but mixing whole wheat and regular flours. But of course, knowing me, I may have changed some other things around, seeing as I can't follow recipes.
The result, though my memory is a little fuzzy as this seems so very long ago, was "OK." The crust seemed a little hard, so I don't know if that was how it was supposed to be. Also, this bread was very large.
It's bigger than kiddie #3!

It was HUGE! Seeing as it was so very large and we're not really bread-eaters, the majority of this went untouched. However, I didn't throw it away, no, I didn't! Stay tuned.

ReplyDeleteThrowing some mystery there? He, he, the bread itself looks amazing! Super! Perfecto!
ReplyDeleteLooks great... Like a baby swaddled in blankets. I wanna bite its head off.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful braid!
ReplyDeleteOH! That's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love making challah around the holidays, but I haven't attempted a whole wheat version. This is definitely getting some press at our house!
Wow, that is a beautiful loaf of bread! I've never attempted a callah.
ReplyDeleteOoh, look at all the stretchy gluten and shiny crust! That is awesome. I wonder if I'll ever make a bread as beautiful.
ReplyDeletejust okay? but it is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteyour whole wheat challah look good to me!! soft healthy bread with wheat must try soon
ReplyDeletethis challah would make an amazing bread pudding!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the crusts on Challah are a little... 'crusty.' I used to get a loaf of the stuff every Friday when I worked at a Jewish school. I love the stuff! Hope the moving is going well!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful loaf of Challah! There is nothing like homemade bread. I make a baked French Toast that uses Challah for the recipe. I like the idea of whole wheat and going to save this recipe. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNúria:
ReplyDeleteWell, it's nothing too exciting, but I should at least build it up a bit, right? ;)
Jude:
Exactly! It was *very* baby-esque. Haha, is it a bad sign that I don't find that statement at all disturbing? Sure, bite its head off! Teehee.

Thanks! That braid can make anything look pretty.
maybelle's mom:
I didn't remember exactly how challah's supposed to taste. I think in my memory it was sweeter/softer. So, "OK." =)
Karen Dar Woon:
You called it! This was made into bread pudding.
RecipeGirl:
Oh, OK. So it's OK for it to be a little "crusty"; I had forgotten how challah's supposed to be. Thanks!
Kim:
Thanks. Tell us how it goes with the whole wheat.
look at you guys going on jewish on me!
ReplyDeletei have never made one of these... and that is one amazing loaf. it makes great french toast...
The last time I made challah, I used half the recipe to make a loaf (so it was smaller than yours) and the other half to make babka - a chocolate challah swirl. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your wonderful and inspiring blog where No Bread is Impossible to Make. I've always made a challah for holidays here in the USA but for Xmas I wanna make my first whole-wheat challah. Thanks for sharing your recipe & your gorgeous looking braid. I'm gonna try using ALL whole wheat flour including whole wheat pastry flour. The goal is "lightness" and also good nutrition. - Ruth Z Deming

ReplyDeleteI think we need to redo this. I think I'm going to like all white flour here. Shhh, don't tell anyone. Teehee.
