It happened rather abruptly a few days before New Years. The kids got inspired from a book we read in Thailand about baking bread.
"Can we bake bread when we get home?" they pleaded.
And so we did. Jet-lagged and all, we decided to start our first (hopefully) weekly loaf of bread on New Year's Day. The first being Challah bread, a well known and well liked Jewish bread usually in a braided form. I have made it before a while back and remembered that it wasn't too difficult. The dough had to rise twice, first time for 2 hours and second time for 4-12 hours !).
The kids and I, believe it or not, baked the dough at 4am the next morning. Why not? We were up, the dough was ready, and we were hungry for breakfast!
We made three loaves, two small ones, and one big one. The kids ate all of their small ones up in one sitting!
Will keep you posted of our next loaf... if may happen before the week is over at the rate we are going!
