I just made my first non-bread maker bread after being inspired by this thread. I used the first lesson recipe from thefreshloaf.com so just flour, salt, yeast, and water.

Kneading is hard work but my dough looked like this.


After rising and shaping I had something like this.

I realise now that I didn't let it rise again after shaping.

But in the end it came out looking not too bad


There's a slight yeasty flavour to it but I'm chalking that up to the lack of a second rise.

Bread number 3 I pretty much destroyed trying to transfer it from the surface I was rising it on to the pizza stone I had in the oven so it collapsed and ended up quite thin and dense.

Bread number 4 turned out a lot better, I added a milk wash this time so I got a nice colour on it.



It's already half gone.

I decided today to try something a little more challenging than a Sourdough or a plain white loaf so I delved into Challah.

Everything seemed to go well and they came out of the oven looking like this


and after an agonising wait for them to cool we had our first slices, so tasty.

Oh my god, I love challah. Way too much. I've been known to use challah buns for burgers for extra heart-stopping goodness.

I only learned about Challah from this thread, we don't have a big Jewish population here in New Zealand so my knowledge of Jewish food comes from American sitcoms.
