Challah
Filed in archive Traditions on September 10, 2007
Challah is a soft, golden egg bread, which is traditionally reserved for the Sabbath.
The bread is usually braided, but during Rosh Hashanah, challah is served in round loaves to symbolize the circle of life and the seasons.
In the past year and a half I've enjoyed trying new bread recipes, so have decided to make a loaf of challah this week. Searching through my numerous cookbooks yielded two recipes, one from The New York Cookbook by molly O'Neill and the other from How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman. I wasn't excited by either of them.
A quick look online revealed this recipe. It looks perfect!
I'll let you know how it goes...
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins next Wednesday, September 12 at sundown and continues until Friday evening.
