Looks so pretty and fluffy! Waiting to see more breads from around the world 🙂
I think I am joining bread bakers after a very long time. The theme for this Month was chosen by Felice who blogs at all thats left are the crumbs. She suggested that we bake good luck breads which are baked across the world. After a little hopping on the blog world and searching, I found that this bread can be baked without eggs too from a facebook group by Anuja and decided to bake this beautiful bread- Jewish Challah.
According to the Jewish tradition, Challah is given as a good luck bread on a housewarming ceremony. According to them, bread, salt, sugar, and wine will bring good luck to the new residents. Though I have no idea of taking this for a house warming ceremony now, The best I can is to gift it to friends who love egg free bread. I love the braided bread.

I did not know this about challah! I’m loving what I’m learning from everyone’s blogs today! Your challah is gorgeous.
Beautiful Challah Veena. You’ve done the braid perfectly. I am sure that your friend must have loved it
