When Covid started, my search for challah become somewhat frustrating. At one store the bread looked really bad and in the other, they were so good but only available in limited quantities. I decided that I’m putting end to the madness. F*$# looking for challah every Friday and hoping they are not all gone!
I searched high and I searched low … behold I found the recipe and started baking every week. The more I baked the better results I got.
Traditionally in our home egg challah was usually only bought on high holidays and special occasions. It is considered the queen of all bread.
The texture is a little more cake-like because of the eggs! It is amazing to use the next day for French Toast.
Yeast dough requires a little attention but once you start baking with yeast you can’t stop and the possibilities are endless. You can make it sweet or savory.
This recipe was originally given to me by a friend in one of the mommy and me classes that I took with my daughter at the temple. The recipe is very special to me because my daughter and I both learned how to bake it together. So bring your children in and bake a loaf of bread with them and create some fun, and lasting memories!
