Directions
Oat and Honey Challah (Bread),A chewy, delicious, easy challah/bread recipe. The proportions of white to whole wheat flour can be varied to taste. A variation on a recipe found in the Crowning Elegance cookbook,Every 3-4 weeks I make small challah loaves & freeze them for the following Shabbats. I halved this recipe and got 3 good-sized loaves which were a bit large for my family…next time I’ll make 4 loaves. The texture was wonderful! I’ve never made challah with no eggs and only one rise, so I was happily surprised with it! VERY subtle grainy taste with the oats & wheat flours. Absolutely divine with some butter! The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is because it has almost no flavor on its own. I’m used to sweet challahs, so this was a bit disappointing when eaten plain. BUT – I plan on keeping this recipe & tinkering with it a bit…maybe some cinnamon or vanilla?? Thanks for sharing!,A chewy, delicious, easy challah/bread recipe.
