What happened to the challah?

There's something wrong with the challah....

No really....

What the hell did they do to the challah?


-----

Because I am a crappy baker, we purchase our challah bread from the fine bakers at Publix grocery store. Normally, the challah looks, well, normal.


(exhibit A - normal challah bread loaf)


I don't know what happened this week. Maybe the bakers were fed up of staying in the box and wanted to experiment with the baking of challah. To live, to really live involves danger and change, they must have shouted while squashing the braided egg dough into the loaf pans.

Viva Le Revolution!

Or, an apprentice baker started. A gentile apprentice baker.

Head Baker Sylvia: Yo, Apprentice Eve, stick the challah loaf in the oven!

Apprentice Eve; what this pile of braided dough here?

Head Baker Sylvia: Yeah!

(Apprentice Eve looks at the lump of braided dough0

Apprentice Eve: (to self) Well, she called it a loaf, I'll just cram this into a loaf pan...

(beads of sweat build up on the young apprentices brow)

Man, this is tough. I need to hurry and get this in so I can go and hit the Friday night Cheesy Beef and Pork festival*!

(An hour later)

Head Baker Sylvia: What the hell happened to the challah?

(beat)


(Apprentice Eve pops her head around the corner.)

Apprentice Eve: Don't worry, boss, I took care of the challah, see? Oh I saw that bowl of matzo mix on the counter. Don't worry, I added yeast and corn flour to it. Boy would that have been embarassing if the matzo didn't rise**!

Head Baker Sylvia: EVE!

* I don't know what the hip gentiles do on a Friday night. I just assume it involves a lot of non kosher food.

**It's funny, because she just made it not only not matzo, but not safe for Passover consumption!

*** Also, I realize the irony in taking pictures of the mutant challah next to the Passover matzo.
