Jewish (Ashkenazi) Breads Recipes

"This recipe originally comes from Kosher by Design by Susie Fishbein. I've been making this challah every week for the last two months, and it makes a delicious, rich challah. I don't use the bread machine method, making the dough in my Kenwood mixer and giving the final knead by hand, then braiding the challah and baking it in the oven. I'm posting..."

"This is a great recipe for a 'bagel party' where everyone can choose and prep their bagel filling and topping choices. This recipe can easily be halved or doubled. We tweaked this very detailed recipe from the book 'The Best Bagels are Made at Home' by Dona Z. Meilach. We took the stand-mixer version and simplified the instructions as well as made..."

"This is a traditional Jewish bread although most cultures have a similar type of bread. It is slightly sweet and eggy. It is traditionally formed into a braid, but can also be baked in a loaf pan (for easier slicing). This recipe makes 2 16 ounce loaves (notice that these loaves are slightly smaller than typical recipes). The smaller size works..."

"We make this every week in our house. People keep asking for the recipe -- we think they're impressed to find a healthy challah that also tastes great! It resembles actual bread more than cake. Just throw the ingredients into a bread machine with a "dough" cycle, braid, & bake!"
