Thanks so much for that thought provoking post. Bread is definately symbolic in many religions. It's something we eat everyday yet never really pause to think about it.

I was also not really blown away with PR's challah recipe. I make challah every week and I'm happy to pass on my recipe to you. it's our family's favourite.

You can find the recipe at:

I heard Julia Childs has a great challah recipe.

I made french toast with my challah also.

It's great baking along side of you. Love your blog.

God Bless,

I wasn't surprised to read about the symbolism in challah bread - much in Judaism is symbolic. But still, it's very interesting to learn such things. You brought up an excellent point about learning about the symbols and meaning in bread, Biblically speaking. I'm going to end up paying more attention to that...

My challah was soft with a tender crust. We loved it. We mostly ate it with butter & jam and we loved it enough that it's now at the top of our list. Well, until I made ciabatta yesterday... Mine was done with wild yeast. Turned out very, very nice.

Reminds me, I need to blog about it...

I havent listened to the whole talk yet (I will) but I wanted to say that I was really blown away by this post. I love the idea of doing a whole bible study of what bread means... I had never thought of it before. thank you.

I would look around for a jewish lady when you get home and ask her how she makes hers.

1) I LOVE challah bread! It's yummy on its own and even better in things like bread pudding and french bread and french bread casserole.

2) Your borrowed illustration is beautiful... mind if I borrow it too for a women's breakfast devotional at my church??
