Another option for pumpkin bread pudding makers in Iowa:

Dear Kathryn-
If your reader wants to and has some time and preferably has a breadmaker he can make her own challah bread! It is very easy with a bread machine.
Recipe for 2 large loaves:
2 cups water
2/3rds cup vegetable oil
1 egg
6 cups flour
ยฝ cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 packages rapid rise yeast.
Soโ€ฆif he cannot purchase โ€œchallahโ€ or โ€œJewish egg breadโ€ in Atlantic, Iowa โ€“ maybe he would try making her own.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
