Although I've made houska several times, for the first time today I read the photocopied handwritten recipe from my great-grandma (or Grandma, not sure who wrote it) all the way through. At the end, I noticed a paragraph in Czech. Apart from "pivo" (beer), I don't speak any Czech. All I could make out was "doble recepi," and right afterwards, in English, "it is good."
I made a "doble recepi" because making the bread is such a pain in the ass, but eating the sweet bread for breakfast and sharing it with others will definitely be very good. I wonder if that is what great-grandma Koudelka was making note of at the end.

That's some good-looking bread.
This post reminds me that I need to buy a Kitchen Aid mixer as soon as I begin working for the firm.
Maybe you can share the family recipe.
hopefully the houska is a christmas present to someone in the family who REALLY loves houska! :)
I could share the secret family recipe. If you really want it email me.
