Challah Bread
This is a traditional Jewish bread eaten on Sabbath and Jewish holidays. A little history lesson everyone! The dough is made with a number of eggs, and sweetened with honey. The dough is traditionally cut into three rope-shaped pieces and then braided together before baking. An egg wash is applied to the dough to give it a golden color while baking. Poppy or sesame seeds are sprinkled on the bread before baking. The seeds represent manna that God gave to the Israelite to eat while they wandered in the desert.
