Viola Challah!

Another book I had read about on line was  A Taste of Challah Tamar Asch. In search for the right challah recipe, I figured no better than this guide book on how to make Challah.

So again, I checked the worldcat.org website and found that no library nearby had this book. Bah! But when I spoke to the librarian she said that I could put in a request to order a book.

I was amazed, I had no idea that this was how the books got onto the shelves. So a few weeks later, I was the first one to check out this brand new book. I realized I had better keep it clean because it was so new.
I'm always very careful with the cookbooks, but sometimes a little flour does get in them. Anyhow, I used this book for weeks, months... and each time I baked Challah it came out great, however, it was such a struggle...

The recipe was for many many many loaves, so I would try to half the recipe, but it kinda complicated. Eventually I moved on to trying other recipes...

But, this book is an excellent educational book on Challah and other jewish breads, such as pita. It also goes into the Jewish traditions with baking challah.

A little side note, about 18 months ago when I was in Israel at a bookstore that my cousin wanted to stop in, I found this exact same Challah book on display. I felt so connected! Thousands of miles away, and the same book available for baking challah.
