Egg Bread - Challa

I am going to make Egg Bread this weekend. I am very excited - my roomate picked up yeast for me yesterday.

I have been looking for recipes online, and I have two I am going to work from. I tend not to follow directions to a T (which I know is the golden rule of baking). But baking is also about gut feelings - if it looks done, smells done, it probably is done.

The first recipe I found is here:

I love the idea of adding sesame seeds and I am definately going to do that.

The second recipe I am going to work from I found here:
http://www.recipetips.com/recipe-cards/t--2114/challah-bread.asp

I am not planning on using bread flour, so I will probably just refer to this recipe.

Very excited for the task I am about to undertake. I will take pics throughout the process and post them here... more soon...

is a recipe I use quite frequently. Might also check out 'A Blessing of Bread' by Maggie Glezer, and if you're into bread as a hardcore hobby, try 'The Bread-Baker's Apprentice' by Peter Reinhart.
