Challah is one of my favorite breads to make. It’s soft and delicious and makes french toast that is absolutely out of this world! People not familiar with the bread often wonder how to pronounce it. Let’s just say that chants of “holla!” ring through our halls when I’m making it. It is an easy bread to make, but it ends up looking so fancy when it is braided. I love eating this up plain, with soup, and we have spoiled ourselves silly by making the most amazing french toast out of this challah. Seriously, homemade challah makes the best french toast. You should try it!
