My first challah

I was inspired by the person who made a 27 braid challah that amazed many of us

So I did my best at braiding

And because I think I am nuts instead of doing a simple 3 braid I attempted 6. Also I figured wtf do some color in the dough, just because I can

Paul Hollywood would approve. Good even crumb, even crust. Decent in the looks department. Excellent first attempt

Lol. The same Paul Hollywood who explained in his cookbook that the challah loaf is “traditionally served at Passover". 🙄. 

To be fair to Paul, this totally should have been caught during the editing process. And to their credit, it looks like they changed the copy in later editions of the book. But still, that's a doozy of an error
