hallelujah Challah

Hallelujah!-I finally figured out what happened to that Challah bread during the diva session. And this is pretty funny.

As you know, I couldn't imagine why it didn't turn out since i had made it quite successfully before. I couldn't really persuade myself that Martha had put out a bogus recipe. But here I was with prove that this was not right.

I kept the recipe on my counter because I was going to make it again this week just to see what the problem was with this recipe. Well, turns out it isn't the recipe-it's ME! and my old age creeping up on me.

After I discovered my error, I let a couple of people read the recipe and they all thought the same thing. Everyone-including me-read 1/4 cup water-not 3/4 cup as the recipe states. The print is SOOOOO tiny that unless you have a magnifying glass-it looks like 1/4.

So since this summer when I last made the bread-to January, my eyes have gone south enough that I could not read that tiny print. Lesson learned-WEAR THE GLASSES!
oh dear. Guess I am getting old. Lesson learned.
