I have a charming e-mail "penpal" I met on another food list website.

Recently, she, I, and several other members have been discussing a 5 
lb. challah she is making for a wedding.

Actually, that's 5 lbs of flour which pushes finished weight closer 
to double digits! (I figure about 18 - 20 cups of flour

Is there anyone out who has ever made such a massive loaf? Any one 
have tricks, technqiues, recipes, etc??

I'd like to make one this spring for the bar mitzvah of a dear 
friend's son. I figure if I start practicing now with all of your 
help, I could do it!

I am guess that about 10 cups of flour would make something that 
would reflect my affection and the significance of the bread.

Thanks in advance, Fredericka
