Synopsis

The Complete and Simple Guide to Challah contains twenty recipes for challah, along with detailed illustrations for each recipe. The collection includes traditional challahs, savory challahs, sweet challahs, and dessert challahs, as well as recipes for traditional and chocolate croissants, pita, and cinnamon rolls. Both pareve and dairy recipes are included. Step by step instructions are provided, making the whole process clear to both experienced bread-bakers and novices who'd like to give challah baking a try. The recipes themselves are from the collection of the father of a rabbinical student who bakes challah every Friday, and thus have been extensively tested by the most demanding of consumers, his immediate family.

About the Author

Dr. Dean Richards grew up on a dairy farm near Columbus Junction, Iowa.  Finding himself not fond of cold, damp winters and hot, humid summers working among piles of manure, he studied psychology at the University of Iowa and then got his Ph. D. in that subject from Carnegie-Mellon University.  Upon graduation he left cows behind forever and moved to Los Angeles.  After marrying his lovely wife, Dr. Andrea Richards, they raised three perfectly lovely children, one of whom is pursuing rabbinical studies and whose need for fresh challah each week inspired the production of this volume.  When he's not baking, Dr. Richards teaches psychology online and onsite for a number of universities.  In addiiton to this book of recipes, he is the author of two popular books in psychology written for professionals and nonprofessionals as well, Psychology in Plain English and More Psychology in Plain English.  Both this volume and the two of them are avaialbe in paperback and for Kindle and Kindle Reader Apps on Amazon.com.  Dean enjoys hearing from readers and appreciates online reviews.  If you'd like to contact him, you can do so at the address below:
