If the application were to change drastically in appearance and use between different platforms, even to take better advantage of the Mac interface, it would then no longer work the same for all users. If the interface works exactly the same, regardless of the computers used, then the user focus can be on productivity instead of adapting to differences between platforms.
#Batsheva hays rich eggy software#
This is the same strategy used by Avid and other cross-platform software developers of professional applications. Recently, I came across a discussion on Facebook about Challah Bread.Even so, I have to admit that I would love it if Blender were more like my pretty OS X Aqua interface. I’d never heard of it before so I did some digging and then Hannah and I experimented with baking it. This easy Challah Bread recipe was so delicious that I wanted to share the recipe with our readers!Ĭhallah is a Kosher loaf of braided bread. The simple dough is made with eggs, water, flour, yeast and salt. The bread is typically pale yellow in color because of the eggs used, and it has a rich flavor, too. ‘Challah’ actually refers to the tiny portion that we separate from bread dough as a reminder of the Temple service, not the loaves themselves.

… The loaves are typically covered with a fancy cloth-one reason is that it is symbolic of the dew that fell on the manna in the desert.Ĭhallah is a rich, eggy bread that’s baked every week for the Jewish sabbath, or Shabbat.

The braiding of the challah may symbolize several possible things: A symbol of the intertwining of the holy days with the secular days of the week, as Friday passes into the Sabbath. Also, the symbol of the connectedness the Sabbath brings, with its purpose of allowing time for family, friends, and relationship strengthening. This makes the bread look like a crown, for crowning God as king on Rosh Hashana.Ģ teaspoons yeast (active dry or instant will work)ġ egg yolk & egg white separated (save the white for the egg wash) The reason that some people do the round challah, versus the braids, for Rosh Hashana, is because the year is round and it represents that idea.Dissolve the yeast: Place the water in a small bowl.Sprinkle the yeast along with a large pinch of sugar into the water.Let stand for 5-10 minutes, until you see a thin frothy layer across the top.Mix the dry ingredients together: In a large stand mixer bowl, add four, sugar, and salt.(If using a regular bowl, knead by hand.).Add the eggs, yolk, and oil to the dry ingredients: Whisk to form a slurry, scraping the sides of the bowl to incorporate all the flour.Mix to form a shaggy dough: Pour yeast mixture over egg slurry.Mix yeast, eggs, and flour with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a dough is formed.
