Tag: Challah

Challah is the bread of the Jewish week. Two braided loaves on every Shabbat table, a round loaf at Rosh Hashanah, sweetened with honey for the new year, sprinkled with sesame and poppy, glazed with a double egg wash to a deep mahogany. Every Jewish community has its own challah — the six-strand braid of the Lithuanian shtetl, the water challah of the Sephardic table, the saffron-scented celebration loaves of the Mediterranean, the Yemenite kubaneh that bakes overnight, the everything-bagel challah of modern New York. Challah is also the bread that carries the mitzvah of hafrashat challah — separating a portion of the dough as our ancestors did in the time of the Beit HaMikdash. Below you will find every challah recipe in our collection, each tested with precise gram measurements, baker’s percentages, hafrashat challah thresholds, brachot guidance, and step-by-step braiding instructions for two-strand, three-strand, six-strand, and round loaves.
