Great idea, love it! Thanks for sharing.
This is a great technique, and delicious. Just wanted to post that I have made a savory version of this by subsituting sauteed onions for the apples.. Saute onions until they are almost caramelized. Great hit at Shabbat dinner.
Sure it can.
Can this be made ahead and frozen?
let it rise once, then shape it in the pan and allow it to rise again before baking.
This looks so delicious! Question in terms of the challah: Using Jamie’s Challah recipe, do I let it rise twice before dividing and rolling, as if I were making challah? Once? Not at all?
We have two favorite doughs, the No Knead challah is for 2 pounds, the other is for 6 pounds, but you can halve it and make some into savory rolls, Here they are favorite challah dough recipes <https://www.joyofkosher.com/recipes/collection/jamies-challah/>
