The Complete and Simple Guide to Challah: A Farm-Boy's Guide to Great Jewish (and non-Jewish) Breads

by Dean Richards

The Complete and Simple Guide to Challah contains twenty recipes for challah, along with detailed illustrations for each recipe. The collection includes traditional challahs, savory challahs, sweet challahs, and dessert challahs, as well as recipes for traditional and chocolate croissants, pita, and cinnamon rolls. Both pareve and dairy recipes are included. Step by step instructions are provided, making the whole process clear to both experienced bread-bakers and novices who'd like to give challah baking a try. The recipes themselves are from the collection of the father of a rabbinical student who bakes challah every Friday, and thus have been extensively tested by the most demanding of consumers, his immediate family.

Delighted with this Little Book!

I’m a lifelong bread baker—about 45 years or so. Aside from the occasional pie or cobbler, it’s the only thing I bake (Thankfully, my daughter is the Dessert Queen!). But I haven’t really done much with challah: I’ve always been deep into the savory “Artisan” stuff (looong before it was called that). Also, I have a hard time just plaiting my own long hair. But this “Free on Kindle Unlimited” gem is truly “Complete” and “Simple”! I’m certainly going to buy it to have in my digital library. And now I need to preheat my oven for the loaf hanging out on my counter....

Lovey book of Challah

This is an easy to read book on bread making and various Challah. I married a Jewish man and now his mom lives with us. She doesn’t know how to make it so I have been trying to find recipes.
