Yesterday I made my sister-in-law a loaf of Challah Bread. She loves that and she hasn't been feeling very well lately. So I thought she would enjoy a loaf of homemade bread.
I found this recipe in Peter Reinhart's Crust and Crumb cookbook. This recipe is worth the price of the book!! It makes an EXCELLENT loaf of bread and I just love the feel of the dough. You just know it is going to be good!! Though I do make two minor modifications to his recipe. First, I do not brush the loaf with egg yolk. I found that burnt the top of the loaf. Secondly, I only bake the loaf for 30 to 35 minutes instead of 45 minutes.
If you don't want to buy the book, borrow it from the library and make a copy of the recipe - you won't regret it - it is that good!!
This bread is also great for french toast! Think I might make a loaf for us this weekend!
