It's a soft egg-based bread. In this case, it comes in a pull-apart style loaf all braided and twisted around itself. Each little lump can be separated from the main section and treated as a dinner roll. I'm not sure if that's how it's done traditionally, but that's how the beautiful wifey and I had it, and it worked out beautifully.
It's not a far cry from the delicious milk breads we've sampled from Trader Joe's in recent memory, although there's no milk or cream in this product. The texture of the bread is velvety and smooth, and there's also a decent amount of sweetness thanks to both sugar and honey in the ingredients.
The loaf was about four bucks in the baked goods section. Certified kosher. Would buy again. Trader Joe's Challah Braided Egg Bread will get a solid eight out of ten stars from both Sonia and me.
Bottom line: 8 out of 10.
surprisingly good
ReplyDeleteWe thought so, too.
DeleteThis is what my Italian relatives would call Easter bread. It’s really good.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Easter bread before. Learn something new every day...
DeleteOh it also reminds me of conchas. This bread tastes like those Bimbo concha’s to me
DeleteThey are so good! I have found them individually for about 3.99 in VA at a Wawa or you can get a big 8 pack at Wal mart. I found a huge back in an international stand on the milk aisle. Much cheaper even in bulk.
ReplyDeleteWe no longer live in Wawa territory, but we might be able to track them down at Walmart. Thanks!
