Challah bread is a traditional Jewish bread that is typically braided and egg-washed. It is often served on special occasions, such as the Sabbath and holidays. The word “challah” comes from the Hebrew word for “loaf.” Challah bread is typically made with flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, and eggs. It can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be decorated with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or other toppings.
Challah bread has a long history and is mentioned in the Bible. It is believed to have originated in Eastern Europe, and was brought to the United States by Jewish immigrants in the 19th century. Today, challah bread is a popular food all over the world.
