Whole Wheat Maple Challah – AKA The Canadian Braid

I love yeast dough! I really do. I’m not sure why but I think it’s the fact that it kinda “gives back” what you put into it. Am I making sense? didn’t think so. You see, yeast dough required patience and knowing which ingredients work together well and which don’t. And when you add the […]
