What is a challah bread? A challah is a Jewish bread that is traditionally part of the sabbath and even any important Jewish holiday. It is a dairy-free bread, and when it’s made the right way, it could be considered kosher.

Which is the best flour to use to make challah bread? You could use bread flour or all-purpose flour. I often run out of bread flour, so then I’ll use my all-purpose. Keep in mind that any high in gluten flour will give you a dough with a nice stretch. From all the challahs I’ve baked, either bread or all-purpose flour will work for this recipe.
