I was slightly irritated that it should be sprinkled with caraway or sesame. I am no expert on challah, but the above mentioned café serves it as "sweet breakfast" with jam. And there is sugar and honey in the dough. So: Caraway?
I made half the recipe and ended up with two braids (and a mini-pretzel :-). So I made one with caraway and the other one as I thought it should be - with coarse sugar on top like a striezel, or like the Pulla we made last year at almost the same time.

Unfortunately I read the P&Q-section too late. I have no idea of jewish kitchen-laws. But I read that it is unusual to do Challah with butter because dairies and meat should not be combined in a meal. I guess it would have been easy to use oil or another non-dairy fat instead next time (but what about the milk?). The two times a year when I bake a traditonal jewish recipe it should be as close to the original as possible ;-)

Beautiful loaves! I made some knots, too :)
AntwortenLöschenGreat looking breads! Love the little pretzel...so cute. I didn't put any seeds or caraway on mine....just a little salt. I want to use them for French toast, so don't want any weird flavours on them. I like this recipe though. It was pretty easy.
AntwortenLöschenWhich one was your favorite loaf? Love the different shaped breads!
AntwortenLöschensome nice looking - differently braided - loaves. Looks like you had a feast!
