If you’ve never made your own Challah for Rosh Hashanah (or any occasion), this is the year! Ring in the Jewish New Year with new skills. We will demystify challah-making for the home cook - from working with yeast to shaping loaves with various braids.
In this all ages virtual cooking workshop, you’ll create a stunning loaf, filled with apples and cinnamon or your dried fruit or spread of choice. While your dough is rising, prepare a scratch-made apple sauce the whole family will enjoy! We will also discuss tips for how to enjoy and preserve this bread.
