It's quiet here!
We did our challah bake at temple. It was fun. Not sure how many people actually baked their bread once they were home but the kids enjoyed it. I made a few batches of dough and I also made three loaves of challah for the kids to sample.
The one challenge was rather than cleaning the tables and having the kids roll the challah on the table, they had them do it on paper tablecloths. The kids either floured the paper very heavily and then had trouble making the strands stick or, like Violet they rolled them into strands in their hands. Then they weren't tight enough. While they stuck together the strands melted into each other while rising.
While waiting for the first loaf to rise everyone mixed their own batch of dough.
We baked off the first loaf waiting for the second to rise. Then I shaped it into a coiled, round loaf and we baked it. We gave it to one of Violet's friends who was at the house to take home.
