1. 1

   I read the request for the sourdough challah recipe with ambivalence since it seems to me to be a contradiction in terms. In America, challah is a somewhat sweet as well as rich bread used to celebrate the sabbath. It is traditional to make it even sweeter at times such as Jewish New Years with the addition of more sugar and/or raisins. Well, in life we must take the bitter(sour) with the sweet ;-) so here is the recipe based on Ed Wood's "World Sourdoughs from Antiquity". Enjoy!
