What is Challah Bread? Challah, pronounced haa-laa, is traditional Jewish egg yeast bread. Our Challah is made with eggs, flour, yeast, honey, tofu (for natural preservation & moisture), water and hint of vanilla, and may be sprinkled with sesame or poppy seeds upon request. It is sometimes called egg bread, and has a distinct yellowish interior with a slightly sweet flavor.

In our bakery it has drawn comparisons with Hawaiian bread, but unlike Hawaiian bread our challah is sweetened with all natural honey not sugar and is a more subtle flavor

While Challah usually is braided in threes,our loaves are braided in sixes, threes or in a wreath/ring shape. The bread may be served warm or cool depending upon individual preference.

The bread is an excellent choice for slicing, because of it lovely texture especially in braided form, and is a favorite sandwich bread, particularly in delis in major cities.

Our customers love it many ways. It makes excellent cold cut sandwiches, salad sandwiches (chicken, egg or tuna salad) or a breakfast sandwich (eggs & meat/cheese of choice). It makes a great bread served at dinner with just about any meal, just tear & eat or slice & butter. Or in party/entertaining catering, we serve it with our handmade spinach spread or our cinnamon honey butter, WOW those are great. Also, great served with any soup.

It is also praised as one of the best breads to use for French toast which is served in our restaurant daily. It absorbs the egg/milk liquid perfectly, and it can be cut thick. Eggs, milk & a splash of vanilla will set the flavor off. Prepare yourself for some of the best french toast on the planet.

Historically, Challah is a part of many Sabbath celebrations, and also is consumed during many Jewish holidays. Challah is never eaten on Passover however, because the day calls for eating only unleavened bread. Therefore, no bread containing yeast can be served. On Rosh Hashanah, challah may be made in the shape of a ladder.
