The International Union of Bakers and Bakers-Confectioners (UIB) declared the 16th of October as World Bread Day.
So Zorra from Kochtopf is hosting a “World Bread Day” blogging event.
Although, I didn’t bake a loaf of bread for this event. I wanted to share the challah bread that I have been enjoying almost every Friday since I moved to Toronto. Challah is a braided egg bread which is soft, moist and flavourful. I think that the best challah in Toronto is from Harbord bakery. Harbord Bakery is one of the oldest Jewish bakeries in Toronto; it has been open since 1926. Other tasty treats on my list from Harbord bakery include their sweet cheese buns and rugelach.

It's beautiful, Sam!
I especially love it because I had to miss my bread class last Thursday and part of the lesson was challah.
I used to walk past the Harbord Bakery everyday on my way to class... sigh, I miss it.
That is definitely a beautiful loaf of challah. Sadly there are no good bakeries near my home. *sniff*
Nothing says Friday night more than a beautiful Challah - and that's a beautiful challah!

A great picture ,I love fresh challah Bread , thanks ;)
Truly lovely.
Challah isn't very hard to make, Sam. One of my friends lives very close to the Harbord bakery and gets bread there often. (Good bread but a bit on the pricey side) Not long ago, I supervised as she made challah herself. We used the following recipe:

The result was brilliant and as I recall, it looked pretty much like the one from Harbord bakery.
