Last night I surprised Dave by cooking a honey-glazed ham that I knew that he would enjoy. He mentioned that it would taste so good to make a sandwich with it the next night, so, that gave me an idea. I would make a homemade challah (braided bread usually eaten on the Jewish Sabbath) that he could use for his sandwich. I saw it as a kind of uniting of two religions....ham and challah. : )
So, I got out a new recipe that I had gotten from Judy, Janet's mom, during my recent visit there. She is such a wonderful cook, I knew that it had to be good.
And, so, the adventure began as I carefully read over the typed two-page recipe.
First step, mixing the yeast with hot water and honey.
