More Challah

Just a small update today.

Again, today I made a loaf of Challah. Unlike the last loaf, I made it around 2-3pm. This time, I was experimenting with the egg wash. Last time, I didn't get it very thick or get complete coverage. I made twice as much of the wash, and made sure to get compete coverage. On the downside, I left it in the oven a bit to long. So the crust was a tad thick, and it split. Part of the way you tell when Challah is done is by checking to see if it's about to burst.

Over all, quite happy with it. The middle is still a tad bit undercooked still. I think next time I'll try making two smaller loaves. I'll probably need as much egg wash again, but hopefully the loaves will be more fully cooked.
