Homemade bread, more so challah, is the ultimate comfort food. Challah conjures up nostalgic emotions and memories, and holds much significance in Jewish culture, as it helps celebrate the holiest day of the week — Shabbos. The following twist on challah adds a gourmet and surprising element to the classic challah; a perfect addition to your Purim feast.

I am having a hard time visualizing how to do this. Wish you had a short video included. Cute concept, but a bit confusing to me!!
Thanks for the comment, will see if it is something we can do.
The filling is placed inside before baking so it will hold it down.
Has anyone ever made this? How would cutting out a shape from the middle of the hall ah prevent it from rising? Wouldn’t something weighted have to be put on it to prevent that from happening?
Sure 🙂
I’ve been designated as bread baker for our Purim seuda and want to make this. Do you think prepared pesto would work? I have some in the fridge I want to use up before Pesach…
