Challah Rolls
These healthy challah rolls are made with flax seeds and raisins to kick off the Jewish New Year, and what better way to wish friends, family and community members a happy, healthy, sweet New Year than to give the gift of delicious bites of health! For these, I’m using my favorite recipe. It combines whole wheat flour with white flour, and calls for raw sugar.
Consider making these round challah’s into even smaller mini-sized rolls, or make a batch of extra large rolls to give as a hostess gift. During this month of High Holidays, we customarily form our challahs into circles, which are symbolic of the cycle of the year as we begin anew.
Wishing you all a Happy, HEALTHY New Year!
