What is pumpkin challah??? Never heard of it?

Answer 1

Challah is a sweet loaf of bread. I believe it is Jewish. It is pronounced "holla". I can only assume what pumpkin challa is from that. Sounds great! Challah is awesome!

Answer 2

Challah is a type of bread. I made at Culinary School. Pumpkin Challah is just a variation of the bread. It is often referred to as 'egg bread' since the recipe usually has a large amount of eggs. This especially rich bread is eaten on the Sabbath and on all Jewish holidays (with the exception of Passover).

Answer 3

Challah is a kind of bread. It must be made with pumpkin.

Answer 4

Pumpkin Challah

Makes 2 loaves
Use this bread to make stuffing, bread pudding, or day-after-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches.


2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast(1 1/2 packages)

1 cup warm water (100° to 110°)

3/4 cup egg yolks(11 to 12 large eggs), plus 1 large egg yolk for glaze

1 tablespoon salt

2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more for bowl

1/4 cup honey

2 cups homemade Pumpkin Purée or one 15-ounce can

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon allspice

8 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

1. Proof the yeast: Place 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl, and sprinkle yeast over it. Stir to combine, and let sit until mixture becomes foamy, about 10 minutes.

2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine egg yolks with remaining 1/2 cup warm water. In a medium bowl, combine salt, canola oil, honey, pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice. Replace paddle attachment with dough-hook attachment, and add the pumpkin mixture to the mixer bowl; combine. Add the yeast mixture, stirring until combined.

3. Slowly add flour, 1 cup at a time, until all the flour is incorporated into dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface, and knead the dough by hand for 10 minutes. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface, punch down the dough, and then form it into two 8-inch loaves. Place the loaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

5. While the dough is rising, heat the oven to 350º. Mix remaining egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water. Brush the loaves with the egg glaze, and bake until golden brown, about 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack, and serve.
