Braiding the Challah

Shalom Y’all,

I love making bread. It feels delicious! Does that make sense? I think all you bread bakers out there will understand the pleasurable sensory experience of working bread dough in your hands.

I particularly enjoy working with my homemade 100% whole wheat and honey Challah dough and braiding it. What fun to see the intricate weave created just by moving ropes of dough in and out. I imagine this is what an artist experiences when they see their project come alive and take form.

Here are some shots I took today. Below this post, you can see the finished [baked] loaves. To me, they are beauty, simplicity and blessing. An added benefit is that these creations taste fabulous.

This is art you can eat! 🙂
