How Do You Cool And Serve Challah Bread?
Serve challah bread at the beginning of the Shabbat meal on Friday and on Jewish holidays. A staple in Jewish homes, challah deserves a place on everyone’s table. Finish your meal with a dessert challah filled with fruits and nuts, or make challah rolls to enjoy during any meal. Finish baking challah for the length of time called for in the recipe, normally between 30 and 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Pull the bread from the oven when it is golden brown. Knock on the bottom of the bread loaf with your knuckles to determine if the bread is baked. Listen for the hollow sound that means your bread has finished cooking and is ready to cool. Place the challah loaf on a rack to cool for 30 to 60 minutes. Use a bread knife to slice the challah. Serve challah at your next meal or within three days. Store the cooled bread in a bread drawer or loosely covered with plastic wrap. Finish eating a challah loaf or place it in the refrigerator after three days to keep it fresh. Place cooled challah
