Artisanal Challah for Shabbat and Celebrations

Artisanal Challah for Shabbat and Celebrations

Experience the exceptional craftsmanship of Carol Becker's signature challah at William Greenberg Desserts, where she personally oversees the production of each loaf using her recipe that has become a Madison Avenue tradition. Carol Becker, who has led William Greenberg since acquiring the bakery, brings her passionate commitment to Jewish baking traditions through her meticulously developed challah recipe that balances rich egg content, pure honey sweetness, and the perfect flour blend to achieve the golden crust and cloud-like interior that distinguishes her loaves from ordinary bakery challah. Our bakers create classic loaves for intimate Shabbat dinners and the symbolic round challahs specially designed for Rosh Hashanah celebrations. Carol's dedication to challah excellence reflects her broader philosophy of honoring traditional Jewish baking while incorporating subtle refinements learned through years of customer feedback and her own family's Shabbat table preferences. Becker's challah varieties include her original plain recipe that highlights the pure egg-and-honey flavor, raisin-studded versions, and her innovative whole wheat blend that maintains traditional taste while offering contemporary nutritional benefits. Each Carol Becker challah at William Greenberg carries National Kosher Supervision certification, reflecting her unwavering commitment to serving New York's Jewish community with breads that meet the highest standards of both kashrus and quality. Available fresh daily at our Upper East and West Side locations with special attention to Friday preparations, Carol Becker ensures her team maintains adequate challah production even during peak holiday seasons, understanding how central her challahs have become to Shabbat and celebration traditions throughout Manhattan's Jewish households.
