Challah Recipes

Challah is certainly not the lightest of bread, but this portion-controlled version can fit with your diet. I make this at least once a month, and I've never managed to mess up this recipe!

Conventional method

Homemade Challah Bread

Love this bread! It's actually based off of my mother-in-law's favorite recipe for the bread... we've made variations of this before including gluten-free and sugar free, but this whole wheat version has definitely come out the best!

A healthy version:)

This is one of the two main loaves of bread that feature prominently at our Christmas brunch every year. The leftovers are always greedily consumed over the following week with peanut butter and honey or a smear of jam.

My Challah Bread recipe makes such a large loaf that it begins to dry out before we can eat all of it. I use 6 pieces with the custard in this recipe and it makes a great breakfast for 3 of us.

Just a quick note to say thanks for the positive feedback about my recipe. Just a few tips about my recipe. I have a fan in my oven which allows me to reduce the temp. The temp in my recipes is about 10 degrees C. lower than in a conventional oven. That is about 25 degrees F. lower. This recipe makes a huge loaf of bread which is great plain, with your favorite spread or as french toast. See Challah French Toast.

Makes excellent sandwiches and french toast!

Make this great dough in your bread machine for challah bread,

This Challah Bread is a HUGE family favorite - I've made Challah from a handful of recipes. Overall, they are very similar, but this one is our favorite so far!

(This recipe is from www.easyjewishrecipes.com - website address makes 2 loaves. I have halved this is to allow for a "one loaf" recipe.)

This recipe can be made with or without raisins. Poppy seeds or sesame seeds can be used to top bread. It can also be made plain, and or a 50/50 blend of white and wheat flour. This recipe is calculated without sesame seeds/poppy seeds and raisins.

This is one of my families favorite Sunday morning meals.

An alternative to white flour challah's made with whole eggs, and just as delicious for your Shabbat celebration!

Surprisingly easy and oh, so good! Dough rises overnight so plan ahead.

This is a symbolic recipie for Jewish Shabbos Bread

This is a very gooey dough and does not need much kneading at all. Overkneading when using spelt makes the dough fall apart. That's because it has a low gluten content, which is probably why you are using it in the first place!

A combination of decadent challah braid recipes found on Baking and Books (http://www.bakingandbooks.com/2007/09/09/
apple-honey-challah/), this is rich, sweet and very eggy with a hint of fruity tang from dried apples... the perfect combination!

Eggs lend to the richness of this traditional braided bread. The attractive golden color and delicious flavor make it hard to resist.

Great Homemade Challah!

yummy and warm
