I think I'll wait another year

[sovay]

I did not find a recipe in time to make challah for Rosh Hashanah this year, but there is little left of my family's honeycake and the chicken glazed with three kinds of honey, cinnamon, and stuffed with an apple worked out great. Next year I'll remember something with pomegranates.

(cucumberseed, "The Lily of the West: Blue Vervain Murder Ballad #5" is a slightly strange story to read around this time of year.)

A good and a sweet new year to you all.

Oh, you should have said! I have two or three go-to challah recipes, for varying degrees of "more time than brain" and "more brain than time."

You, too, be inscribed for all good things.

I meant to ask shirei_shibolim, but I was sleeping. Send me one and maybe I'll make it for break-fast on Yom Kippur?

I believe shirei_shibolim turned me onto this recipe, and even does the 100% whole-wheat-with-levain recipe that comes after this one in the book, brave soul, but I am not so brave and I don't like bread with heft as much as he, so, if you have two days:

This is my every-week challah, with tweaks and twonks as necessary for humidity. Use a little more honey than she says, and start the rise with a heating pad or a low oven. Also, cut the recipe in half if you do not want challah for half a million.

Wow. Thanks for sharing these. I've done 2-day bread from other sources, but this one looks divine. Maybe for break-fast. . . .
