Paul's Easter Challah - we used the challah recipe from Peter Reinhart's bread book and we found that it was too dry. So no recipe for today, but I thought it was pretty to share.
In the future, I would have mixed the food coloring into the liquid mixture when making the bread (in this case the liquid mixture was eggs + water + oil). We tried to knead the food coloring into the dough after it was formed and it didn't quite distribute evenly.

Hahaha, Mercedes...The photos of your dyed Challah looked like a luscious hand-dyed braid of wool roving to me!!
I guess you can tell that I'm a felt artist! :)

It is pretty though!

For what it's worth, I think the uneven marbled-ness is probably prettier than if it were all a solid colour :)
Get the color right next time
I find the colours fascinating, particularly as they show in the first picture:-) Did you use "standard" food colouring or some more elaborate colouring agents?
Nope just regular old food coloring, although I did contemplate whether using paste food coloring would have been better.
And yes! It totally looks like wool, or play-doh, or something silly, that's why I had to post it!
And how did it taste?
