We’re finally breaking down the difference between the classic white Bosch bowl and the stainless steel challah bowl. Read the run-down here. For my first 8-ish years married, I didn’t make challah. There! I said it! A perfectly capable and respectable grown woman who bought challah, every week. I was perfectly content making the fish,…

The White/Whole Wheat Pull-Apart Challah
Whether you like the look, or you need to please a table with people who have different preferences, this challah is a good idea. Does this sound familiar? You take out too many challahs because you need both regular and whole wheat, and they end up halfway done? Instead of keeping your white and whole…
Sina’s Pomegranate Challah
This is a beauty. Make them as rolls, or as a pull-apart challah for a special start to the meal. We know Sina Mizrahi for having a knack for making everything just more beautiful. So when she played around, and instead of making regular challah, made Pomegranate Challah, we wanted to try it too! Plus:…
The Sesame Challah Hack
The quicker, easier way to get that sesame flavor and crunch in every bite. Back in 2019 we posted a recipe on how to make the absolutely best sesame challah where each strand is coated in sesame seeds. This little addition simply adds such great flavor and crisp to our usual challah. A few years…
Decorate Your Challah with Flowers for Shavuos
This simple little detail will add a pretty touch to your Shavuos table. Last year we got a submission from a reader named Laya who suggested this idea. It was too late to get it ready for the website in time for Yom Tov, but we tried it out, loved it, and then tucked the…
Vanilla-Cinnamon Babka Made with Challah Dough
You already have the dough. Just make the filling and this babka is ready to go. We can pull the meat out of the freezer (there’s still lots there). But if there’s one thing that’s going to be fresh tomorrow, it’s the challah. And if you want to add one more special (and chametzdike) thing…
KitchenAid Challah (Egg-Free!)
It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s a really good challah, it mixes in a Kitchen Aid, and bonus: it uses 7 oz plastic cups to measure. I had called a friend for a dip recipe. And she was telling me how her family loves the dips course combined with the “soft, fluffy challah.” They sit over…
Rochie’s S’mores Challah
While you’re kneading your dough, get the kids involved and let them make their own challah creations from “The Kids Book of Challah.” Earlier today, I introduced you to my new book, “The Kids Book of Challah.” And while there’s a huge variety of challah-related recipes kids can make in the book, one of the…
A Guide to Frozen Challah Dough
Fridays are getting shorter and you might move your challah-making to a different day–but you still want to bake fresh challos. A while back, we shared some hacks on how to make store-bought challahs look like your own. Some supermarkets sell pre-braided frozen raw challahs in pans on Thursdays and Fridays and they’re a great…
What Should We Do with a Tablecloth Full of Challah Crumbs?
If you don’t want to use plastic on your table, what’s the right way to clean up? I don’t remember what I did before the vinyl tablecloth days, that era when tablecloths became easy to wipe up. Since I switched back to using a traditional tablecloth a couple of years ago, I’ve had a quandary….
