Challah is a traditional Jewish bread, braided, eggy, and slightly sweet. Served during most major Jewish holidays, a challah loaf is intensely symbolic.
Amy Kritzer, the blogger behind What Jew Wanna Eat, says a good challah should be light and fluffy with a golden crust. After making challah for the first time in Sunday School, she’s since mastered the technique and developed her own spins on the classic, including matcha challah, latkes-stuffed challah, and a rainbow challah that she served at her own wedding. She throws in a fun tip, too: If your challah doesn’t turn out perfect, don’t waste it — turn it into French toast instead.
