@Conradd Hello and welcome keen baker. Yes, I do occasionally make fluffy sourdough challah, but for me it’s usually a 2day project, so I mainly make my standard whole wheat challah when the mood takes me; otherwise, it’s the sliced boring almost tasteless loaf from the supermarket.

I’ve often fancied having a go at making Challah, looks so delicious.

It is most certainly better than any commercially made bread and of course being homemade, always fresh without needing any kind of preservatives.
I also make matzo (unleavened) bread, which is sort of loosely related to British pancakes and goes really well with favourite cheeses when some best butter is spread.

Hello Minx, I see you’re in South Africa, funnily enough I met my friends new boyfriend last night at her dinner party to introduce him.
He’s living in South Africa and seems smitten with her, they met on a dating app, so far the distance doesn’t seem to matter. Late 50’s

Yes, we’re now a global community notwithstanding the ole Brexit thingie, of course. 
Your friend is extremely fortunate and very blessed as all the apps I’ve been on are filled with scammers and all sorts of creepies. I usually delete my account within 24 hours of signing up and I’ve tried a few times already. I would have to get out to meet people organically but that’s a whole other story 
Enjoy your time here

I’m one of the minority of Luddites who still does not own a smartphone, but if I do eventually find myself owning one, then your wish will be granted; but please do not hold your breath coz I’m 81 and still resisting

Hello and welcome! Baking bread is one of the finer ways to spend a few hours, giving us the good excuse to linger around the house for a while. It is one of the rare traditions that ties us to generations going back thousands of years.
Send over a slice or two and I hope we see you posting often!

Welcome to the forum Conradd, I think I already welcomed you on another post, but hey!..You can’t have enough welcomes…Although I don’t bake my own bread I just love bread…Any kind of bread, and all my working life I have taken sandwiches to work, and even in retirement I just love a nice sandwich most days for lunch…The more variable the bread, the better I like it…You are certainly turning out to be a member of the ‘Upper Crust’…

Cheers you kind people! Is it poor etiquette to post a few photos, I’m wondering? Might seem a bit needy, but I’m not needy lol, just enjoy sharing ideas and thoughts
