Everyone seems to be baking bread right now.  From crusty sourdoughs to sweet rolls, we have finally given up on hating carbs.  (Thank, God.  That was exhausting.)  And with everyone getting into the bread business, I wanted to re-share my favorite bread recipe: Molly Yeh’s Scallion Pancake Challah.

It is delicious.  And while it looks very intimidating, it just takes a little bit of patience (and counter space) to get it right.

First tip, read the whole recipe, all the way through, before you start.  This is a good tip for any new recipe, but it’s especially important with this one.

Second, assemble all the ingredients cooking show style before your start rolling it out.  If you don’t, you will find flour and tiny specks of dough everywhere.

Third, make sure the dough loafs are at least 3″ wide when you flatten them.  If they’re not wide enough, it will be tough to pinch the tops together.  If they’re too wide, the bread over bakes and becomes flat.

Last, if you don’t the ingredients to make this Asian-inspired loaf, change it up.  I’ve used thinly sliced shallots, garlic, and red chili flake instead.  It works just as well and makes a pretty good grilled cheese sandwich.
