Pecan Cinnamon buns.  Donuts.  Fruit tart.  Killer (very rich) raisin bread.

It's fun to make tiny, braided, challah-shaped dinner rolls.  It looks cute to have a whole (but small) challah on each bread plate.

I made some little Pains au Chocolat -- just wrapped a stick of chocolate with some dough, proofed, egg wash and sliced almonds, bake.  Some people like them with laminated dough, but hubby likes them bready.

The Babke dough was so similar to a Challah dough that all sorts of rolled dough possibilities suggest themselves.  I really like the idea of the mini-Challah rolls, though.

Hamelman says you can make bread sticks. I have a lot of rolls in stock right now (too many!). I might try that. --Pamela

Try bread puddings or summer berry puddings.

I used my leftover dough to make 3 ounce knotted or Kaiser-style rolls.

Send me your address....I'll come and collect any 'leftovers' you have.  Seriously, I have NEVER in my life eaten a better Challah than this one.  I am addicted to it.  For years I have relied upon a recipe I found in a noted cookbook from around 1984?...gray area, real gray at my age).  I used that item for everything from bread, cinnamon rolls, to Greek/Clove buns.  Needless-to-say, that tried-and-true recipe has been replaced with P.R.'s version. 

Some folks want a steak or a bowl of ice cream for their last meal, just give me some Challah bread.

I just tried the Bread & Apple Shalet w/Milk from Claudia Roden's "The Book of Jewish Food" w/my leftover challah.  It's kind of a bread pudding w/apples & milk & raisins & great comfort food.

It was probably El Rey 58% Bucare from Whole Foods.  Sometimes I just use chocolate chips.  Smiley

On another site today, someone recommended this recipe for Challah Sticks.  It uses baked challah, not raw dough.
