This week I’ve been playing around with different flours. This is 60% rye, 40% bread flour. I’m using date molasses (silan) to darken the colour of the dough but next time I’ll try a more authentic method and use cocoa.
But the taste? Wow. Deli. Bring on the pastrami…

Just a touch of late season rosemary, cut straight from the garden, held in place by a nigella seeded strand to give this challah that extra something special.
Shabbat shalom everyone🪬

Change is a good thing.
It’s always been something I believe in even though it’s difficult to do. This is the first Friday with my new shaped challah and though it’s a change, I feel like it’s a good thing. Same weight, same recipe, new shape.
So here’s to same-same but different. I hope you like it as much as I do.
Shabbat shalom world, let’s hope it’s a good one🎗️

Yes, food is my passion but challah is and will always be where my heart is. Such beauty in the lines and such power in the mitzvah.

SUN Oct 20 Cooking Class: The Art of Challah by Alissa Kondogiannis

Challah — a golden, egg-enriched bread that is often braided, and typically eaten on ceremonial occasions such as Shabbat or Jewish holidays — has adorned tables since biblical days. It is an easy, forgiving bread to make; a versatile yeasted dough that can be made sweet or savoury. Ideal for French toast and bread pudding, challah is also the perfect bread with dips like hummus, to mop up soups and stews or just to eat hot and tender, straight out of the oven.

In this class, participants will learn how to make a quick, simple, and forgiving yeasted dough and the art braiding bread. Each participant will will make and braid their own challah to take home with them. In addition, there will be demo of shwarma-spiced roasted cauliflower and an easy to make hummus to be a shared as a light lunch with your oven-fresh challah.

Her aim is to introduce everyone to the joys of bread making and and show that people don’t have to be intimidated by yeasted doughs. For the past several years she has facilitated challah making classes and has a small catering business of her own. Barnstar Kitchen
