Rosh Hashanah Challahs Order Page


This page is very basic, but hopefully, it will get the job done!

I am offering round challahs for Rosh Hashanah.  No options; they are sweet and soft, with a festive-but-messy streusel topping.  Challah contains eggs, but no dairy or margarine; if you have allergies, please ask me first!  Delivery is a flat rate of $5 between Lawrence and St. Clair, and between Bathurst and Dufferin, and will take place between 3-5 pm on Sunday, September 16th.  Pickup will be at 494 Atlas after 4 pm on Sunday, September 16th.

Embarrassingly, I've just realized that I don't have any pictures of finished, baked, round challahs with streusel, despite having baked (and blogged) them for well over a decade (edited - I found one, though the challah in question is half-eaten!).  They will be the basic "snail" shape seen below in a standard 675g (1.5lb) prebaking weight:
INSTRUCTIONS:
  • Select Challah from the drop-down below and click "Add to Cart" ONCE.  You'll be able to add more challahs on the checkout page.
  • If you do NOT want delivery, choose the $0 delivery option and add it to your cart (this way, I know you've seen the choices!)
  • If you want delivery, choose the $5 delivery option and add it to your cart as well.
  • Click "View Cart" to review your selections, then select a Checkout option to place your order.

Please select:


I will cap orders at a reasonable quantity given available time & space.  I will notify you within 6 hours if I cannot fulfill your order and shut down this order page as soon as we're full. ;-)

Miscellaneous:  Although our house and kitchen are kosher, I will also be baking this batch in a freshly self-cleaned oven in brand-new tinfoil pans.  All bishul is Yisrael, but not checked for yashan.  Challah will be taken with a brachah. 

And yes... we use child labour, and we're proud of it!

No corn syrup? Make your own with only 3 ingredients!

Image
One of the basic baking ingredients that’s particularly tough to come by in Israel is corn syrup.  And some Fridays, it seems like every single recipe I want to try – whether it’s pecan pie (or the pecan bars I made today!), peanut brittle , or something else – relies on a generous quantity of the stuff.  Corn syrup in a recipe isn’t just for flavour, so as most people have found, you usually can’t just substitute something else, like honey, maple syrup, or straight sugar.  Corn syrup does some kind of magic that I can’t explain and helps things thicken up and set, especially in candy making.  (If you know, feel free to explain it to me in the comments!) But there is one thing you can substitute:  INVERT SUGAR. Invert sugar is a sugar-water syrup that’s been boiled to 236°F (114°C) and then cooled off slightly.  At that temperature, the sugar turns… well, magical.  Again, explain it to me in the comments.  But essentially – it turns into cor...

Baking in Israel? Beware of FAKE condensed milk

Image
If you didn’t know any better – like I didn’t when we first came here – you’d probably assume, with good reason, that both of these tins contained condensed milk: But that’s where you’d be wrong.  Sure, at least at first glance, the Hebrew text is exactly the same: חלב מרוכז וממותק / chalav merukaz umemutak / concentrated sweetened milk.  But the English is different, and therein lies the key difference between the two – the one on the right is FAKE. Here are the ingredients of the real thing (on the left): Milk (55%), sugar (45%).  That’s it.  Pure and simple. Now, here are the ingredients

Easy, tender, and affordable roast in Israel… yes, it IS possible!

Image
I wasn’t a big meat cook in Canada.  We ate a lot of chicken, but I was kind of shy about beef.  Still, I managed to make some acceptable roasts from time to time – meat that was tender enough and tasty enough that we could enjoy it together on special occasions. All that changed when we moved to Israel, where all the meat cuts are different from what I was used to and nothing, it seemed, was tender and tasty except the most expensive bits, like steak (which always seems to turn out tough when we make it at home, but we don’t mind because it’s delicious). But some of the English speakers here were chatting on our WhatsApp group last week about roasting beef, and it made me really want to try it again –even after having been burned numerous times.  So on Thursday evening, we bought a nice little #6 roast, which according to this indispensible meat chart is called Fillet Medumeh (פילה מדומה), petit tender, or foreshank.  The page's owner, Marc Gottlieb, says i...
