Beth's blog (her old blog, A Bread A Day) has become my bread baking go-to website lately. This weekend I made this recipe for Challah bread.

I accidentally used all purpose instead of bread flour (which is a shame because I have a ton of bread flour) and I'm thinking maybe that's why my bread wasn't as light or fluffy as I know challh can be. Or maybe I was a little too rough with it when I was forming and braiding the strands.

But the flavor is great, and the bread isn't so tough that I'm put off from using it for sandwiches this week. My turkey and cheddar with horseradish was terrific. I will definitely give this recipe another shot- with a lighter touch.
