A braided bread !! Tat was soo lovely. I dunno why always my bread comes out dry or uncooked inside, however hard i try to bake it perfectly ! :-( This one looks so cute, i am gonna try it. Does it become crispy bread with a bit hard crust or is it soft? and what kind of curries can one have with it? gravy curries or dry ones?!

Hi mona,

Thank you very much for all your comments in our blog.

*my challah is so soft.
I think the bread become crispy with a bit hard crust when you use sourdough starter.

*I Will Give you some tips on baking bread and I am Sure that it will make your bread succeed every time.

1)Always Preheat the oven at least 30 minutes before baking.

2)knead your dough 10 minutes.

3)make your dough soft.(not too dry or not too wet.

4)if the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when you tapped ,you know that your bread is cooked.

Finally,i think the two curries will be fine.
The challah Very good for breakfast,French Toast,Sandwiches,and croutons.
I even dry this bread to make Saudi Shabora and eat it with (Milk with tea).
