It's slightly sweet, we usually eat it around Easter with ham, butter or jelly. First time this year making it, felt proud of how it turned out. Couldn't find an english name for it.

Its challah. I’m pretty sure its a jewish bread, but not certain. I *am* certain its delicious though.

Holla!!! For Challah… 🙂

It can be challah, the jewish bread or might also be a French “brioche tressée” or braided brioche. Basically they are the same, only challah is done with oil and brioche with butter. Belongs to the category of “enriched breads”.

Never new it was a jewish thing. Where I live it’s pretty common, you can find it in basically every bakery and most corner shops as well without any clear association with jewish culture

here in switzerland, this is a very common type of bread. We pretty much call it Braid for short or braided bread in swiss-german.
I am unaware if its substentially different recipe to Challah though. Here it is consumed like most other breads. With butter, jam or slices of meat put on to it etc.

In Austria it’s called Strietzel

We call it kalács, typical dish around Easter and Christmas time.

Braided briosh? Also in Finland we have “pullapitko”. It is just a braided sweetbun.

The best kind of bread to ever exist, Challah. It’s best warmed up, covered in butter, and dipped in homemade chicken soup.

Challah.

Many cultures have braided breads of various forms, densities, and complexities. This looks like a Challah, based on the braiding style and your description of a slightly sweet flavor, but a true Challah would have to be made in keeping with kosher traditions (with pareve ingredients). So I’d call it a Challah-style bread, without knowing how it was made/what ingredients are in it.

In Bulgaria it’s traditionally prepared for Easter too and it’s called „kozunak“.

My whole family calls this “lopey bread” (LOH-pee) on account of when my sibs and I were little we thought it was called “lumpy bread” and my brother couldn’t pronounce “lumpy.” We’re all in our 40s now and that’s still what we call it. Even my kiddo does it.

Hefezopf is a braided German bread with an enriched dough made with heavy whipping cream and eggs. Is your family German? I don’t think there is an English name that distinguishes it from other German sweet breads and Easter breads.
There are a lot of similar breads that use some form of enriched dough and can be braided. (Challah, Greek easter bread, Brioch)

That’s Challah Bread and it’s amazing. You can make French Toast with it or even just spread some butter on it.

I was raised Jewish, so it’s Challah. My Irish Catholic friend’s mother makes one very similar that she calls Easter Bread.

Plastic Perfection Decorative Bread Loaf. Useful for deceiving unsuspecting guests, – watch with delight as they grab it to tear of a hunk and it squeaks like a dog toy.
Seriously though, that is gorgeous!

Kalács in Hungarian 🙂 we make it usually for Easter!

This looks too good to be real! The bread almost looks like varnished woodgrain, but in a good way. This sounds weird but is a compliment lol.

Different breads could be braided and you would have to send us a loaf so we could taste and decide. 🙂 It is beautiful.

Looks like Challah, and since Passover and Easter usually coincide (except for this year), it is a good bread to make. Although, Challah does not contain any dairy. It gets its richness and color from eggs. Also, Joanne Chang’s recipe for Milk Bread has milk, heavy cream, butter, and eggs in it, so a mashup between Challah and Broche?
