Our award-winning Organic Artisan Sourdough Bread is now available in a Double-Size Braided Challah-Style loaf. There are 2 notable exceptions to this traditional bread: there’s no sugar or honey and no egg wash to give the bread a shiny, amber coating.

How does this “Challah” taste without those ingredients? Amazing! And we’re not just saying that. Chef Randall recently went to an event and brought one of these 2-pound loaves with him. He happened to run into several friends who are from Israel and tore off chunks of his challah for them to taste. They all said it was fantastic and wanted more! Mind you, this was just the bread; butter wasn’t available. When Chef later had some of this challah with butter, it was off the charts!

Organic, lower glycemic than most breads, gluten-neutral, Plant Paradox and vegan-friendly. It’s all good…

To make this challah, Chef Randall took the dough of 2 batards (after overnight proofing in the refrigerator) and stretched them into 4 long stands for braiding. It’s the same dough we bake our bread with but something happens when the dough is stretched and braided: it’s prevented from springing up during the bake as much as it would have if it were not constrained by the braid, resulting in a dense crumb that tastes sweeter than usual.
And the best part is pulling the bread apart, rather than slicing it! It takes some doing, but it’s worth it!

If you’re looking to elevate one (or more) of your holiday gatherings, this bread will definitely be the center of attention!
