Bubbie L’s Challah,This recipe came from one of the most impressive souls I have met, the mother of my rabbi, who we all called Bubbie. Since she passed away a few years ago, our entire community still feels the loss of her presence, and miss her terribly. Today I found this recipe that she gave to my friend at her bridal shower about 18 years ago. I can still smell her warm challah in my memory; I can still see her warm smile in my eyes. May the merit of this recipe bring her continued joy in the world of truth….,I have been trying different challah recipes for 4 years and finally I’ve found a keeper!!! Thank you so much for this recipe–it’s perfect! It tastes delicious, it’s so easy to make, and the texture was out of this world. I did not need all 5 lbs of flour, so it was more towards the 13 cups than the 15.
