Episode 15: Deck the Challahs

It’s a season of celebration, and no matter what you’re celebrating, that usually means baking. Sweet or savory, traditional or cutting-edge, more people fire up their ovens during the holiday season than any other time of the year. In this episode, we're exploring holiday breads and the traditions that bring us back to them, year after year. We'll talk Stollen with Brian Hart Hoffman of Bake From Scratch , Challah with Mike Zaro of Zaro's Bakery , and Pandoro vs Panettone with Italian baker Luigi Biasetto . Co-authors of Modernist Bread, Nathan Myhrvold and Francisco Migoya, help us figure out what the holiday hoopla is all about—is it just nostalgia, or something deeper?
