CHALLAH RECIPE BY EVAN HANSCOTT - DIGITAL MARKETING MANAGER

PREP: 2 - 2 .5 hours COOK: 25 - 35 minutes COOL: 20 - 30 minutes

1 package dry yeast5 cups all purpose flour2 tbsp . sugar (modified to 3 heaping)1½ tsp . of salt¹/³ cup butter or margarine (room temp)1 cup hot water3 eggs (room temp)1 egg white (room temp)Safron

Glaze:1 yolk (from egg above)2 tbsp . of sugar1 tsp . cold water½ tsp . poppy seeds to sprinkleBaking sheet:Large baking sheet greased or teflon

1. In a large bowl, mix yeast, 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and butter/margarine . Gradually add water to the dry ingredients and beat at a medium speed of electric mixer for 2 minutes . Scrape bowl occasionally . Add Saffron, 3 eggs, and 1 egg white . The batter will be thick . Beat 2 minutes at high speed . Put aside electric beater and continue mixing in flour with a wooden spoon . Add about 3 additional cups of flour one at a time, until the rough mass is no longer sticky . If it's moist, add small amounts of flour until the dough cleans the side of the bowl .

2. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic (6 minutes with a dough hook) .

3. Return dough to the mixing bowl which has been washed or wiped clean and greased . Turn dough so it is oiled on all sides .

4. Cover dough tightly with a length of plastic wrap and place it in a warm draft-free place until dough has doubled in size (approximately 1 hour; add 30 minutes for high altitude) . If baking at high altitude, repeat the kneading process .

5. Punch the dough down and knead out the bubbles . Divide dough in half .

6. To braid, divide each half into three equal pieces . Hand roll each piece into a 12-inch length .

7. Lay rolls parallel to each other . Start the braid in the middle and work to one end . Pinch the end securely together, turn around, and complete the other end . Repeat with the second piece . Place two braids on a baking sheet .

8. Beat together the remaining eggs, yolk, sugar, and cold water . Carefully brush braids with the mixture . Sprinkle with poppy seeds . Don’t cover braids for the second rise; they will double in bulk (about 1 hour or longer in high altitude) .

9. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees (or 350 degrees) . Bake in the oven until braids are done, determined when a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and dry . The loaves will be shiny and golden brown . Suggested time: 25 - 35 minutes .

10. Remove from oven and cool until it has stiffened a little .

SPICY WHITE BEAN CHICKEN CHILIRECIPE BY LISA MONNIER - CUSTOMER SALES AND SERVICE SUPERVISOR

PREP: 15 minutes COOK: 30 - 45 minutes COOL: 10 minutes

10 SERVINGS 5 - 6 cans Great Northern beans4 - 5 chicken breasts2 small cans green chiles (to personal taste)2 small cans diced jalapenos (to personal taste)1 block cream cheese

1 large container sour creamChili powder1 - 2 large (family-size) cans chicken broth2 lbs . block pepper jack cheese1 onion (optional)

1. Boil chicken breasts in chicken broth until tender and easily shredded (or you could use an Instapot to cook them) .

2. Microwave the sour cream and cream cheese until soft, then mix well .

3. Add the sour cream/cream cheese to the shredded chicken . If you used chicken broth to boil the chicken, just add the shredded chicken back into it . You can add or subtract broth depending on what consistency you want your chili to be .

4. Add the chiles and jalapenos to the mix .

5. Open, drain, and rinse the beans . Add beans to the mix .

6. If you’re using onion, now is a good time to add it .

7. Add chili powder to taste . I try not to use more than 2 teaspoons as it messes up the color of the chili .

8. Hopefully you have free labor readily available in the form of a small child . They should have grated that big block of pepper jack cheese by now .

9. Add the pepper jack cheese one handful at a time . White chili takes a long time but it’ll be worth it to not let that cheese scorch on the bottom of the pan, so keep stirring!

10. Bon appétit!
