challahs
Sabbath dinner bread
Challahs is the plural of challah, a braided bread traditionally eaten by Jews on Shabbat and holidays.
The loaves are typically enriched with eggs, giving them a golden color and soft texture.
Two challahs are customary on Shabbat, representing the double portion of manna provided before the day of rest: She baked fresh challahs for Friday dinner.
