It’s been a long time comin’ so we’re really excited to introduce a new challah: German Challah! This bread is often called water challah, meaning it contains no egg (in fact, this bread is completely vegetarian and only the honey stops it from being vegan). It was the pre-World War II version of challah eaten by Jews in Germany and it differs from the challah American Jews are most used to in a couple ways—the structure is a bit sturdier as it contains freshly milled wheat and spelt, as well as potatoes, and the flavor is, well, wheatier and a little bit sweet with a subtle floral aroma. It still retains that delightfully, pillowy texture that makes it as equally perfect for tearing and sharing at the dinner table as it is for making sandwiches.
