To continue the previous post’s sheaves of wheat theme, check out the incredible challah that one of our yom tov guests made for Shavuot:
In case you can’t tell - as always, click on the photos for a better view – it was supposed to look like a bundle of wheat.
Or, to put it in hashtag terms:
Wheat flour that was baked into a challah and then shaped into wheat stalks #HowMetaCanYouGet
Thank you, dear Yom Tov Guest! The challah tasted as good as it looked!

Wow! -Yaffa
ReplyDeleteWonderful! A lot of fun - making challah into shapes. The week of the key challot, I decided to make a challah in the shape of a key for the first time (it's not a family minhag, but I was having fun). It came out a bit like a cross, said one young visitor. Then I read somewhere the questionable origins of schlissel challah ...
ReplyDeleteYaffa - I had the same reaction!
ReplyDeleteLeora - LOL! :-)
Stupendous! I have tried to do this before, but found the challah shape got distorted during rising and baking. In general, I have had this problem with specialty shapes. So, very nice job by your guest.
ReplyDeleteLaura - Thanks! Another problem with specialty shaped challahs is that it's sometimes difficult to figure out how to cut them. But since this challah was essentially a rectangle, YZG had no problem at all! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the color combos! Thanks so much for taking out the time to stop by and leave a comment on my blog!
