Learning about Challah 8.12.11

I brought home some sesame challah last week and have kept it in the freezer.  I'm cooking dinner tonight, serving it with shepherd's pie.  I just read on Yahoo that challah is traditionally torn, not cut with a knife.  I'm not celebrating the sabbath tonight, but I like to learn about things like this.  This challah is a beautiful braided loaf.  At Clear Flour the challah comes plain or seeded with poppy or seasame.

Challah


This challah was delicous.  Not too eggy.  Very soft and fresh in the iniside.  And the crust was thin and crisp.
