Shana Tova everyone! We undertook our yearly creation of round challot. Sara mixed the ingredients. Josh rolled out the dough and started braiding:
Start with a weaved pound sign, as above. Then swap the location of each pair of braids that makes a 90 degree angle. Do that again, but crossing in the opposite direction. Do it one last time, and you end with the picture below:

Pinch all 8 ends together in the middle and flip the thing over:
Rise, egg wash, and bake!
Yum! (And cranberries go awesomely with honey)
I made the exact same braid! How funny considering there are dozens of braid styles. Awesome job! I can't wait to try making a challah with cranberries. That would be a first. I think my mom told me that's an east coast thing? Anyway, I had no idea you and Sara had such a knack in the kitchen! I'm excited to share many more baking experiences with you!
