Maybe it's because my kids are on spring break that this recipe for homemade Challah piqued my interest. Seriously. Can one make homemade Challah in a bag? It's the lazy person's way to make Challah and I LOVE IT. I admit, I was dubious when we initially watched the video but, I set out with my son to try to recreate this science experiment, ahem, homemade Challah recipe.
