Description
 
There’s something about the smell of freshly baked challah and its wonderful flavor that brings joy to the Shabbat atmosphere. Baking your own challah seems like a difficult and complex process that requires great effort, experience, and special talent.

In The Secret of Challah, with its clear, step-by-step instructions to making beautiful, delicious challah, you’ll find that challah baking is both accessible and fun. In The Secret of Challah, you will find:
  • Proven and tested challah and bread recipes
  • “The Art of Braiding” — a section devoted to teaching you how to shape your own challah and bread, including the traditional six-strand braided challah and the festive rose-shaped challah
  • The deep meaning behind the mitzvah of hafrashat challah, which will give your challah baking a new dimension of holiness
  • A clear explanation of the practical laws of this mitzvah — the unique domain of the Jewish woman

Experience the sweet taste of Shabbat with The Secret of Challah — the taste of Shabbat challah.

Feed your mind, soul, and family with a cookbook devoted entirely to the mitzvah of baking challah. A chapter on the spiritual side of this essential mitzvah and a step-by-step guide to the details and devotions of separating dough make this beautiful book much more than a collection of recipes. Gorgeous photographs complement the wealth of baking tips, explanation of challah customs, techniques for fancy braiding, and how-to`s for unusual shapes for holidays and special occasions. Recipes cover basics like healthy whole wheat, sweet Shabbat, and everyday bread to exotics like egg-free, date-studded and zatar-spiced varieties. The Secret of Challah brings both grandeur and practicality to the mitzvah of challah.
