"  Valentina Palladino, senior at the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University in Syracuse New York, interned in the Kitchen Appliances &amp;amp;amp; Technology Lab this summer and practiced her baking skills. Here&amp;#039;s her report on new bakeware that makes it easy to form braided challah loaves.   To me, there&amp;#039;s nothing better than homemade bread. I&amp;#039;ve tried making a few different kinds on my own, but never had experience making a traditional Jewish challah loaf (even though it&amp;#039;s one of my favorites!). I baked my first challah in the Kitchen Appliances &amp;amp;amp; Technology Lab when I tested out the new Royal Challah Silicone Bakeware mold ($14.95) from The Kosher Cook. In the Royal Challah silicone mold, you can bake up your favorite recipe to get the typical braided look without the hassle of dividing and plaiting the dough.   You do have to take care to follow the Royal Challah&amp;#039;s package instructions. If you fill the mold more than half way with dough before baking, you risk winding up with a loaf with a rounded bottom that, while still delicious, resembles Noah&amp;#039;s Ark. If you have extra dough you can shape it into a small free form loaf or bake it up in the smaller version of the Royal Challah pan ($13.95). About two-thirds of the way through baking, you have to invert the loaf from the pan onto a baking sheet and brush it with egg wash to get that signature golden brown hue on top. Is your family partial to rolls? Consider the Royal Challetts mold which bakes up 4 braided rolls.   While you don&amp;#039;t get to take part in the tradition of braiding, which some people believe is part of the creative process of getting ready for the Sabbath, if you&amp;#039;re not a skilled braider or just want to shave a few minutes off your prep time, this pan is worth your consideration. The Kosher Cook is offering Good Housekeeping blog readers a free goldtone crumb buster with the purchase of any of the Royal Challah molds. Just enter the coupon code, GHCLEANSWEEP when you check out at thekoshercook.com. In the unlikely event that you don&amp;#039;t finish every last bit of your homebaked challah, you&amp;#039;ll have a tool to whisk the uneaten crumbs off the table.
