Description
Challah is a deep-gold, light-textured bread traditionally served on the Jewish Sabbath and other holidays. The dough is wonderfully smooth and supple, making it an ideal candidate for braiding. The simplest way to go is a three-strand braid; but feel free to try the slightly more complex four-strand braid, or even a six-strand braid, which makes a striking presentation. The inspiration for this challah recipe comes from Lora Brody, cookbook author, photographer, and long-time King Arthur friend.This challah recipe has been amended as of 3/16/21 — please see the details in “tips,” below.
