Jewish& Cookbook - Nova Scotia Brown Bread Challah with Sea Salt

One of Nova Scotia’s regional delicacies is brown bread — a soft enriched dough, lightly sweetened with the earthy tang of molasses. Swapping out honey in challah for molasses (an ingredient close to Jennifer’s Maritime heart) feels like a special and delicious way to honour their Nova Scotian and Jewish heritage. Sea salt on the finish invokes the magic of living near the ocean. Baked into a gorgeous round weave, it’ll be a stunner on a Rosh Hashanah table.
