Hannukah Challah, Latkes, Hannukah Views

The dough measured perfectly 1200!

To make a Star of David Challah, shape one triangle, then weave a second strand over and under to make the second triangle

This time I was struck by the simplicity of the ingredients for latkes!

They should be oily as this holiday is about a miracle involving oil!

the finished challah once baked comes out more like a pinwheel or flower shape!

Serve latkes with sour cream and fruit, here blueberries and pomegranate seeds!

 

Happy Hannukah！

I like to make a Star of David Challah on the first night.

A Star of David Challah, actually I made three!

Just a few assorted views!!

Wishing you a light-filled week!!

Shabbat Hannukah --Challah and latkes

A Miracle Here, A Miracle there

 

This past Shabbat was also the fifth night of Hannukah, and a day my daughter got some good news she was waiting for, so it was a an occasion tripley to celebrate and be thankful for.
I wanted to make a special challah.

I made a Star of David Challah.  It looked more like a Star of David when I made the shape, then once it baked it took on a more wreath-like shape.  My daughter saw it, not knowing what the shape I intended was, and  asked if it was to represent a doughnut!  As you know that on Hannukah we make and eat oily foods to remember the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days, so maybe that is why she thought a doughnut.    

Blessings and a light-filled Hannukah to all !!

Shabbat Shalom, and already, Shavu`a Tov!
