The best challah in Toronto is typically made from a dough of eggs, water, flour, yeast and salt, it often has a slightly yellow hue and is delectable on its own, alongside dinner, as a sandwich or used for French toast. Challah is a traditional celebration bread from the Jewish culture, usually enjoyed on special occasions and holidays like Shabbat and Rosh Hashanah.
