She also makes a partly whole-wheat one, which I sometimes make, and I made one this week that was whole wheat-rye-oatmeal, using honey as the sweetener. So good! If anyone wants recipes, let me know.<br /><br />I often go away to friends (as I am still single) and make 5 lbs. of flour. If I'm only making for one meal then I make smaller batches. I like to make 5 lbs. of flour because then I can take challah with a bracha, but I also like fresh challah every week <br /><br />(tip: if you freeze the challah right after it's baked, double-wrapped, defrost it for shabbos (heated on the plata or in the oven), it tastes as good as fresh)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998449224208701190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389577238129687889.post-16406252819019263662009-10-07T19:16:51.436+02:002009-10-07T19:16:51.436+02:00I bake challah every week, but my twist is to use ...I bake challah every week, but my twist is to use a bread machine to make the dough, which I then shape. It lets me start the process before work, and finish before shabbos starts.<br /><br />Given the amount necessary to make with the bracha, it seems like the only practical way to do that and not have stale bread would be to get multiple families together.conservative scifinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389577238129687889.post-3400587290253911562009-09-22T10:20:53.291+03:002009-09-22T10:20:53.291+03:00Jewish Side- I did it- thanks!
Chanie- Done. See ...Jewish Side- I did it- thanks!<br /><br />Chanie- Done. See above.<br /><br />Harry-er- That sounds delicious! I should try that...<br /><br />Anonymous- Wow- tons of toppings- sounds lovely! And cake challah is wonderful, unless you are Sephardi. My Sephardi neighbors claim that Ashkenazim think that side dishes are supposed to be desserts.<br /><br />Staying Afloat- My neighbor does that- It looks so brown and yummy, with whole wheat inside. Oh, and good tip for the blech- mine always burn when I put them on a blech, maybe freezing it will help.<br /><br />Itsagift- Really? What about those who have the minhag to bake every Friday/Thursday for Shabbos, but don't do it with a bracha?<br />I also put sugar in my egg mix- it makes the topping taste excellent. I'm sure your challahs tasted good too- kudos for baking yourself!nmf #7https://www.blogger.com/profile/02930286227301917330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389577238129687889.post-52170280356034675382009-09-21T18:14:41.936+03:002009-09-21T18:14:41.936+03:00I actually read somewhere that it's better to ...I actually read somewhere that it's better to bake challah less often with a bracha then more often without one...<br />I just baked challah for the first time by myself (my little sister helped me a little bit though) and it came out yum!

My friend just gave me this idea to add sugar to the egg mixture and it really added a tastey touch to it! :)itsagifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942149774297914315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389577238129687889.post-62799795751652241042009-09-19T00:44:38.889+03:002009-09-19T00:44:38.889+03:00Half regular flour, half white whole wheat (it'...Half regular flour, half white whole wheat (it's all about the camouflage ). Sweet and doughy. If I don't make enough to say a bracha, it's not worth it to me- I freeze them and put them straight on the blech.
