Caroline and I made challah for Rosh Hashanah. We decided to try yet another different recipe, this time from The Perfect Egg.

I didn't make any real changes, though Caroline spilled the proofing yeast so I had to start that again and wait.

I kneaded it by hand in the bowl a lot until it was together enough to move to the food processor to let it really knead.

I also did two full rises before shaping and then another 20 minute rise once shaped. It came out pretty big! I could smell the yeast after the second rise but it tasted fine.

I feel like it is still missing some of the yellow I associate with challah (and brioche) but I liked the flavor enough.
