Bread, doughnuts, and biscuits. Doesn’t that sound comforting ? I consider anything with flour, sugar or honey, butter, olive oil, eggs, salt, soda, yeast or any leavening, basic simple staples that can be turned into good old-fashioned food. Here are some of our favorites.

​

Challah Braid

1 pkg. active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (105-115)
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 T. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 T. shortening
2 1/2 – 2 3/4 cups unbleached flour 
Dissolve yeast in warm water, then stir into the lukewarm water, sugar, salt, egg, shortening and 1 1/4 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in remaining flour. Knead for 5 mins. Let rise 1 1/2 hrs. Punch down and braid, now brush with butter and let double (40 mins.) Heat oven to 375. Brush with egg yoke mixture
(1 egg yoke, and 2 T. cold water)  Bake 25-30 mins.
This recipe is so easy to make and yummy my daughter makes it for us often.
