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 idea away for next Shavuos!

It’s so easy to do and everyone at the table loved the pretty, sweet look.

What you’ll need: challah dough, old fashioned oats, black sesame seeds, an egg, and a toothpick.

Prepare your challah – or rolls – as you regularly would. (We preferred the look on simple round rolls, rather than knotted ones.)

Spread some old fashioned oats on a flat surface so you can pick out the whole, pretty looking ones.

After brushing the challah with an egg wash,
place 3-4 oats in a cluster.
Then use a toothpick to pick up a black sesame seed or two
and put it in the middle of the cluster. That’s it!
You can put as many flowers as you like – even one on a roll looks sweet.
Or cover the whole challah in flowers. Because the more the merrier!

Need a good challah recipe? These were made using Leah’s famous recipe that you can find in this post. And if you want to braid your challah like the one here, check out Renee’s technique in this post.

    Looks so pretty!
    I have a question, though.
    Is it ok to cut on shabbos/yt? Cutting letters or pictures is a problem, and I wonder if this falls into that category as well.
