Bread - Most Amazing Challah

This recipe for challah makes 2 big loaves or 4 regular-sized ones. It gets a single rise, and uses an easy 3-strand braid. The tops get a shiny egg wash and a generous sprinkling of sesame seeds before baking.

Bread - Choereg Armenian Easter Bread

Ok...so my mother would just kill me if she knew I made our family recipe for Choereg public. But my policy is 'why keep a good thing to myself'. Choereg is a traditional, slightly sweet bread, especially made for Easter. It is delicious for breakfast with a nice cup of coffee. It takes some level of skill, but anyone used to handling yeast should not have a problem. You can find Mahleb at Middle Eastern grocery stores, especially around Easter. It will be with the spices. Please do not omit it, as this is what gives it its distinctive flavour and aroma.

Side Dish - Fried Irish Cabbage With Bacon

Cabbage cooked cooked in bacon drippings and topped with crumbled bacon is a savory side dish.
