1. Challah

This Challah recipe by Rhea Parsons is not gluten-free but uses a combination of all-purpose flour and whole-wheat pastry flour, about 1/3 all-purpose to 2/3 whole wheat.

2. Seeded Challah Bread

This is a great everyday bread that you can snack on or can be eaten with some butter and jam. Soft and with a beautiful crumb, this Vegan Seeded Challah bread by Pavani Nandula is packed with seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, poppy, and flax), which make it nutty and delicious.

3. Marzipan Challah

Marzipan Challah

This beautiful Marzipan Challah by Kirsten Kaminski is the perfect twist on a holiday classic. The addition of marzipan adds a kick of almond sweetness, which makes it feel like you’re eating a Danish pastry. While this recipe might look a bit complicated at first, it’s fairly easy to make once you get the hang of the braiding, and it’s so worth it the moment you bite into a piece of the warm and fluffy deliciousness!

4. Braided Hazelnut Challah, Two Ways

Don’t be intimidated by this impressive loaf of bread – this is the perfect recipe for a baker who’s just starting. ThisBraided Hazelnut Challah, Two Ways by Petra Vogel is soft, moist, studded with raisins, and has a hint of sweetness that makes it the perfect addition to a nice cup of coffee.

5. Mayim Bialik’s Purim Recipe: Hot Pretzel Challah Bread

Challah is the traditional braided Jewish bread served on the Sabbath and Holy Days. It is known for its crusty exterior and soft and slightly sweet inside. This Mayim Bialik’s Purim Recipe: Hot Pretzel Challah Bread recipe by Mayim Bialik takes a little bit of work to get the crust just right, but it will not disappoint! It’s best eaten warm on the day it’s made, as the outer crust can get hard the next day. Dip in pretzel salt or kosher salt and add sesame seeds, if you like. Serve with mustard.

6. Fig and Ricotta Challah French Toast

French toast is SO much better when made with thick bread like challah. Plus, you can make the challah yourself to make it all that more delicious (and impressive)! Wait a day or two after baking to make this luxurious Fig and Ricotta Challah French Toast by Debbie Adler with the bonus of fresh figs.

7. Challah Made With Aquafaba

You can’t argue with the facts: challah is pretty darn tasty. It’s a little sweet and it has a beautiful, glossy, glazed top. It is traditionally made with eggs, but this brilliant Challah recipe by Rebecca Coleman swaps eggs for aquafaba (aka, the liquid from a can of chickpeas) and the result is wonderfully fluffy challah. You can also accent it with different flavors; kosher salt, poppy seeds, and sesame seeds are all popular ways to stud the top of your loaf. Serve with dinner or save it to make the best French toast ever.

8. Pumpkin Challah Rolls

Pumpkin and challah bread go together like chocolate chips and cookies … which is to say they are a perfect match! The pumpkin does double duty in this recipe by not only flavoring the bread but acting as an egg replacer as well. These Pumpkin Challah Rolls by Rhea Parsons would be a great side for your favorite autumn soups, stews, or chilis – or you can enjoy them on their own with a generous smear of vegan butter.

9. Mayim Bialik’s Turtle-Shaped Bread

We have yet to find an easier and faster-to-make bread than this Mayim Bialik’s Turtle-Shaped Bread by Mayim Bialik. The fact that it can be shaped to look like a turtle makes this vegan bread even better. Kids can help mix it, shape it, and decorate it, and the taste is fantastic, especially considering how little work it requires.
