Rosh Hashanah Challah

R here...

Back in the depths of time before L and I had the thought of starting this blog, I made a challah bread for Rosh Hashanah which I happened to take a couple photos of, so my dad could see it. The recipe (or, formula, I guess I should say) was from a bread baking book called The Bread Baker's Apprentice by Peter Reinhart, which is a book I must absolutely suggest for anyone that is remotely interested in maybe someday baking a loaf of bread.

The BBA doesn't have an instruction on braiding a challah in the traditional round weave of Rosh Hashanah (which is different than the three braid of the weekly sabbath bread, which BBA does teach you to do). I found a somewhat confusing and poorly illustrated guide to making a round challah, which I proceeded to botch happily, hence why this loaf looks like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit most of the branches on the way down. Still it tasted amazing and all my friends said the appropriately appreciative things when we served it at Rosh Hashanah dinner that night.
