Right around this time, 14 years ago, she called me and said that she went to someone's house for a Rosh Hashanah meal.
And it was a woman, and she had baked a challah that had a layer of honey inside.
Like there is nothing I have ever failed at more in my life than learning how to make challah.
What are the mistakes you can make? I mean, how bad can it get? Oh, it can get so bad.
So if you don't treat the yeast properly or don't use the right kind of yeast or use too much or use too little, then your whole loaf will be dead.
