What the AI looks for in Challah
- Kosher certification
- Check for a recognized hechsher, and note whether the loaf is pareve or dairy. Observant buyers need pareve challah to serve with meat meals.
- Egg and oil richness
- Eggs and oil should appear high in the ingredient list. These give challah its tender, shreddable crumb, as opposed to a plain sweet white bread.
- Freshness format
- Choose frozen loaves or dough over fresh loaves that have to ship. Challah stales quickly, though it freezes well.
Brands that matter
- Zomick's: Kosher bakery known for challah.
- Kineret: Kosher frozen doughs, including challah.
What to avoid
- 'Challah-style' loaves made without eggs, unless you specifically need an egg-free version.
Questions
Is challah dairy-free?
Traditional challah is usually pareve, made with oil rather than butter, but always confirm with the kosher marking or the ingredient list.
