Most people know challah — a Jewish egg bread — as a braided loaf. But truth is, it can take on a variety of shapes.
To make this delicious celebratory bread a little easier, we gave our version of spiral challah a boost thanks to a bit of help from baking powder. And to make it easier to shape — and faster to bake — we divided the large loaf into mini rolls shaped in muffin tins. The result tastes like challah, but looks like a beautiful popover.
If desired, you can add raisins to the spirals, then drizzle them with honey after they come out of the oven for a great breakfast.
