Hugh Jackman and Jimmy Fallon Making Challah Over a Video Call Soothes My Baking Soul

For me, more time at home translates to more time baking. I'm often on the lookout for recipes to try, and I get excited when I see celebrities sharing their favorite meals or desserts. That's why I immediately clicked when I saw that Hugh Jackman made a virtual appearance on The Tonight Show to coach Jimmy Fallon through his challah loaf. I haven't made challah before, but I feel a little more prepared after a few pointers from Hugh.

In true work-from-home fashion, Hugh and Jimmy get sweetly interrupted by family members throughout their video interview. Hugh's wife, Deb, makes a cameo at the beginning to talk about their wedding anniversary and her missed connection with Mick Jagger, and Jimmy's 5-year-old daughter, Franny, later crashes their baking for a little camera time. Watch the clip above to see it all go down. Hugh clearly has a deep appreciation for bread after avoiding it for nearly two decades while playing Wolverine.
