(Updated 3/5/17; Pictured above – my husband and my oldest son, then 3, making challah.)
Making challah can be a very fulfilling mitzvah and is one of the major mitzvot for women. I admit, though, that during the last several years with me working full-time, I barely get to make challah at all. However, every time I do, I am so glad I did. My whole family loves homemade challah so much more than store-bought. It also saves us a lot of money. I once calculated the savings and it was $3 – $4 savings per challah versus buying store-bought challah!
My husband has taken over making the challah and our favorite source for challah recipes is our “Spice & Spirit” cookbook. There are many recipes out there for making your own challah, though.
For other kosher recipes for challah, see my posts:
Home made Challah is a terrific addition to our Shabbos. I know you want to increase readership of you blog, sweetheart, but showing a picture of me with my shirt off is probably NOT your most effective method.
You had an undershirt on! Besides what other husband would take over challah making while his wife was on bedrest!
