Friday morning - first blogged challah
Last night I crashed early, and woke up bright and cheerful at about 6:30.
While the coffee was brewing I started baking.
There was a brief panic when I noticed we only had 1 egg in the fridge... But it turned out that my sweetie had bought another dozen and hidden it on a different shelf. You need at least 2 eggs to bake my challah -- one for the dough, and one (or two) for the glaze.
I forced the bread at 170 degrees, and let it rise until about 8:45, when I started braiding. (Severely chastised for braiding bread rather than helping the kids get out the door to school.)
It's 9:45, and I'm going to paint the dough and put it in the oven. I'm looking forward to having the baker's challah and beef stew for lunch.
