Growing up, my mother baked challah most weeks. If I am lucky, I have time to bake it once a month. Over the last six months, my mother has been baking up a new recipe and my father has been RAVING about it. He says it tastes like cake! When we were in Los Angeles for Passover, right before the holiday officially started, E and I had the opportunity to try it. We finished a whole challah, just the two of us! It was so decadent. You really could eat it for dessert. What really makes this challah so special is the topping. It adds a nice crunch but also a nice sweetness.
A few weeks ago I decided to give the recipe a try. This dough does not require a bread machine. You can make it in your KitchenAid Mixer!
The challah came out beautifully! I even added semi-sweet chocolate chips to one of them. They tasted just as good as my mothers!
