My boys love to be in the kitchen with me. Max more than Jackson, but they both love to be there. One of the Christmas traditions we have started is to make some sort of scrumptious breakfast on Christmas morning. This year I am thinking I will keep it simple, but with a twist. Plain French toast, but made with Challah bread, a recipe courtesy of my friend Kat. We have had a lot of fun making it in the past and the best part is, I am not sure kids can mess it up, lol. Jackson and Max "kneaded" their small portions with so much flour last time I thought for sure they would taste awful or not rise or something like that. But, they were fine!
This time, we just made two large loaves. I gave them each a small portion to knead, but then, rolled them in with my big dough ball with about 5 minutes of kneading left. The braiding of the bread is definitely the hardest part. The first load I did turned out perfect. Not so much on the second.
When Kat gave me the recipe, she put some great pictures with it to show how to braid. Did I keep that? Nope. Not me. Because, of course I will remember since I have had practice before. Not so much. But, the bread still tastes the same despite not looking as pretty as it might with the right braiding.

Max wanted to help too.
Finished product. We shall see if all we do with it is French toast or if I end up with some sort of baked version, which also sounds appealing. Right now, anything sweet is sounding so good. I think Baby 3 has a sweet tooth already!
