After a couple of failed attempts (really it's harder than it looks) I finally produced a decent batch of challah while I was staying on the farm. I cooked these loaves up in the woodstove too which made the experience that much more gratifying. I will tell you this though, there's something intensely satisfying about kneading bread while looking out a farmhouse window at a garden that someone has labored over in order to get their own food. That and the view of the valley is spectacular from that particular window.
