Look at the purdies!

[trystinn]

Here it is, the labor of a day's work:

Two challahs and one of two (the other we've been nibbling on all afternoon) of light rye.



YUMMY!

*zen bread to all*

Mmm. Rye bread.

[rainbear.livejournal.com]

mmmmmmmmmmm warm rye bread mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[midnightfae.livejournal.com]

This makes me want to make pumpernickle bread.

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

I made a pretty mild one (milk based vs beer, etc.) and since I'm not a fan of caraway seeds unless its in a very sour rye, no optional add ons.

If I've got enough, I'm going with a beer-based one this weekend - hope the co-op has restocked their rye flour. (Which you would think is the rarest substance on earth around here!)

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Oh yes!

Btw, odd tech question. When you download a PDF from a website (Esnips, in this instance) and it won't give you any options to Save - anyway to force it? There's no way I can read 300 pages in one sitting or print out books that long!

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Oof - please do. I'll cyber drool all over it!

If you're reading it in acrobat reader inside your browser, click the "disk" icon on the acrobat toolbar to save a copy locally...

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Believe it or not, the disk icon isn't clickable for some PDFs. Always the PDFs I really, really want because they are rare books.

Any neat little trick otherwise? (And yes, I've tried the File menu, too)

[rainbear.livejournal.com]

Firefox.. "DownThemAll" plugin/extension should do the trick.

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Crap. Never mind, I found a way to trick it. *WEG*

I'm pretty impressed by this silly website, if only it had a decent search parameter method.

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's exactly what I just figured out. Thank you!

Firefox, though art Divine!

Would you be willing to share your challah recipe?

[gentledaddy.livejournal.com]

:'(
I have not had challah bread since I was in NY!!!!!! YUM! They look wonderfully YUMMY!

[dana3.livejournal.com]

Such a BEAUTIFUL challah you've got there!! They're all beautiful ... but haven't had challah in forever ... yum!

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Very wonderfully yummy - just a bit more salt next time!

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Already have, its posted on the_leaven, our breadie group, yesterday morning.

This is a small recipe, for a household of a single person or couple. Probably the only one I've found that didn't feed twelve!

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Its one of those things you just get the urge to make, then wear yourself out doing and put off for a long time! There's just something about a challah!

Its a one-day recipe with a small yield - so I only made two loaves, one a three-strand braid, the other a spiral. I also sprinkle kosher salt on mine, which seems to be an Ashkenazi thing. Next time, I'm going to try making a bird spiral again - been years.

[wild-heart.livejournal.com]

Utterly magnificent, all of them!

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Why thank you!

Odd note: Relish forks make the cutest little "poke" holes in rye bread. And oddly enough, my Mum bought me a set of silver ones for our handfasting.

Relish forks. *shakes head*

That looks so good I can almost smell the hot bread. A little butter and honey and we're on an Imram.

Re: Mouth Waters

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

They are delicious, let me assure you! I'll make sure to have some fresh bread ready when DB comes up to get her bunnies - are you coming with her??

I've got your PDF, thank you - taking my time editing, so possibly by tomorrow evening I'll have it sent back to you with comments.

[chyara.livejournal.com]

they look great sweets!

i should do more baking but damn if the carbs don't call out my name for over indulging...

[tryst-inn.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's the egg glaze on the challah and butter glaze on the rye. Fabulously shiney bread!

Whimper

[profitne.livejournal.com]

It's going to be a couple of months before I am going to be able to knead bread again. So you torture me with pictures of the good stuff...... Whimper moan (I'd be mo re upset i f there wasn't a bakery a block away.)

I do miss a good bakery, haven't had a decent one in the neighborhood since I lived in Brooklyn.

Now, I'm jealous. :)
