Everything Challah

Challah is traditionally eaten on the Jewish Sabbath (Shabbos). This is not your average challah recipe. It is a twist on my trusty old water challah recipe (which even water-challah-phobics have loved), and has some of the taste of an everything bagel. It’s really something else. Enjoy! This challah freezes extremely well after baking, just defrost in a ziplock bag with the zipper open. I always freeze it, even what I bake on Thursday nights for use on Friday! It preserves the freshness so well.

It is quicker and easier than a standard double-rise recipe, so it’s great for those afternoons when you’re in a challah of a hurry. Challah was meant to be torn and not sliced. B’tayevon!
