Trial run

My husband's in charge of the food for a meeting this Friday, and I knew what I wanted to make: Nutella-filled challah. But because I'd never made it before (and because I don't have to go to the meeting and thus cannot eat that particular loaf of bread), I baked some last night.

I was surprised at how much it split in the middle and saddened to see so much Nutella had oozed out the bottom.

It's good, but it could definitely use more Nutella. I am considering making the next loaf with four strands. (Here is a neat video showing 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-strand bread braiding.) And it should probably be bigger than this one, because the two of us have already made quite a dent in it.
