How to Wrap Sourdough and Challah for a Rosh Hashanah Gift

You can never go wrong with gifting someone a homemade sourdough or challah. It’s thoughtful, delicious, and always appreciated!

Here is a beautiful and easy way to wrap sourdough or challah that takes just about two minutes to put together. It’s perfect for a Rosh Hashanah gift, but you can easily use this wrapping idea any time of year.

An Easy and Beautiful Sourdough Gift Wrap Idea

Sometimes the simplest packaging makes the prettiest presentation. Wrap your sourdough or challah in a beautiful cloth or napkin, gather it at the top, and tie it with a pretty ribbon.

For Rosh Hashanah, we used a bee-print ribbon and tucked in a small sprig of greenery and flowers. You can easily change the ribbon and embellishment to coordinate with any holiday, occasion, or season.

Tip: If the bread is oily or you want to wrap in advance, wrap the bread first in parchment paper or a food-safe bag before placing it inside the fabric.
