I haven’t made challah for ages and forgot the elbow grease needed to knead. Then I thought I’d used the wrong flour and started again. But… the ‘wrong’ flour went bonkers and bloomed and proved so well I kept it along with the second batch. One batch made with strong bread flour and the other with plain flour. Both were a success.

Some were plain and the others filled with cinnamon apples and toasted pecans.
