i can braid bread but not hair....

Challah (Holl-a) means "offering" in Hebrew and it is commonly served at Jewish holidays. The original Challah bread was braided with 3 strands of dough which represented Truth, Peace and Justice. The Challah loaf that I did was with 8 strands.  The loaf in the picture is about 10 inches in length. If you like the taste of butter, you'll like this bread.
