It uses a lot of egg yolks, but it&#8217;s worth it (especially if you are handy with meringue&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always been a fan of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2006\/11\/08\/dining\/081mrex.html\" target=\"_blank\">no-knead bread<\/a>, and over the holidays I made a few batches of no-knead challah. It&#8217;s a completely different beast from the chewy, crusty loaf that Mark Bittman made famous. It&#8217;s much more like a cake, and because the dough is so sticky, it&#8217;s better suited to pull-apart style loaves than braids. Here&#8217;s the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/thekitchn\/side-dish\/recipe-noknead-challah-043363\" target=\"_blank\">recipe I used<\/a>, substituting canola oil for the butter so it would be pareve. I think using high quality local honey made it extra delicious.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any other challah shortcuts for getting fresh baked bread onto your shabbat table?
