I am getting excited for sweaters and pumpkins! Hehe.
Exhibit A
Pumpkins at the farmer's market in Bloomington, IN
Produce from my garden!
The past two weekends were Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, major Jewish holidays signifying the beginning of the new year. I got lots of orders for challah. Making bread is one of my favorite things so I was super excited!
For Rosh Hashana, it is traditional to make round challah to represent the new year and put raisins in it, for a sweet year.
(P.S. The internet is so awesome that I found a video on how to shape this.)
So pretty.
Otherwise, you just make the traditional braided one.
