PUMPKIN CHALLAH Makes 2 braided loaves
You can make this egg bread with any type of winter squash puree, but canned pump-
kin is best since it is very thick and rich-flavored. This is a totally untraditional chal-
lah, but it is great for holiday dinners. Serve it with a savory butter for dinner, use it to
make sandwiches with leftover turkey.
