Traditional Kosher Baskets with a Medley of Sweets
Jewish holidays are a great excuse to indulge in these fantastic arrays of baked goods and fruits. But, you can also place an order because you wish to satiate your cravings for sweets, or just try them out of curiosity. Here are some of the items you absolutely must sample.
Braided Challah Bread
Easily-recognizable because of its distinctive braided appearance, the challah has both sweet and savory versions. This bread is similar to brioche and typically eaten on the Sabbath and various other Jewish holidays.
Cinnamon Rugelach
Possibly one of the best-known staples of the Jewish bakery, the rugelach is made with a triangle of pastry dough rolled up, with a filling placed in the center. Rugelach is crescent in shape with horns on the edges.
Cinnamon Babka Cake
Originally made with bits of challah bread, the Babka is a delectable treat with a selection of fillings like cinnamon, sugar, and chocolate. Pull apart the layers to reveal rich swirls of chocolate sprinkled with spices.
Chocolate Mandel Bread
Similar to the more familiar biscotti, mandel bread is a crunchy cookie enriched with nuts like almonds, raisins, and chocolate chips. The perfect tea-time snack best enjoyed with a cup of steaming hot tea or coffee right after Shabbat.
