Challah Baking Kit by The Challah Box

The Challah Box, created by New Yorkers Ilana and Ariel, is a complete baking kit for making delicious challah in your own kitchen. Ilana, who professes not to be a baker, developed the kit after attending a challah baking event in honor of her father at her synagogue. She enjoyed the tradition so much, she wanted to both continue it and share the experience with others. With Ariel, a longtime friend from summer camp days whose background is in creative storytelling and branding, she developed The Challah Box.

 

Each box comes complete with pre-measured ingredients and easy-to-follow-instructions for creating the challah dough, including how to braid it; you just add eggs and water. Boxes yield 4-8 loaves (depending on the size of your challah), which makes it perfect for preparing in a day and baking challah weekly for Shabbat throughout the month. Directions also include instructions for freezing and thawing the dough to bake later.

 

Baking challah is a wonderful activity to share with family and friends, a way to slow down in today's fast-paced world. The results bring the smell of freshly baked challah to the home and a delicious treat to the table for use on Shabbat, at Sunday brunch, or anytime!
