CHALLAH BREAD
This is water based challah that contains no eggs.. she’s more fluffy and one slice is not enough!
So what is so special about challah? Well if you didn’t grow in Israel probably not much, but to me.. she’s the best why? She’s the shape and has the flavors of my hometown, and my childhood.
I lived in the United States for more than 20 years and I have searched high and low for the challah recipe I grew up with and behold!! After 20 years I have finally found and perfected the recipe for it!
Growing up and still back home.. every Thursday and Friday all the groceries get the challah for Shabbat. Every neighborhood have little grocery store with the basic groceries which we call it Makolet they have limited of dairy, cleaning products groceries.. kind of “last minute run out of something “ so we can just walk for the little mom and paps little store
Every house hold gets those challah usually 2-3 and one we save for dinner service and also for lunch .. they are best to dank in the fish stew that a lot of North Africa countries like Morocco or shakshuka.. even with thin layer of chocolate spread.. ahhh so sinful yet so good!
The key to getting a high loaf is to “tuck” it in a smaller loaf pan!

EGG CHALLAH
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!
