Braiding and Breaking Bread, A Challah Workshop with Sonya Sanford: May 25th

Join chef, cookbook author, and podcast host Sonya Sanford for an interactive class where we’ll make challah from scratch, step by step. From kneading the dough to braiding classic designs, baking golden loaves, and savoring fresh-out-of-the-oven bread, this class covers it all. By the end of this workshop, you’ll have learned tips and techniques to help you bake beautifully braided, golden, and crowd-pleasing challah at home. As we craft our bread, we’ll explore how Jewish stories are woven into the food we share, and how culinary traditions can ground us in identity while fostering connection and community. Rabbi Joshua Rose will provide an engaging text study while our challot bake. This class is open to all culinary skill levels, from beginners to avid bakers.
