If there’s one Yom Tov when people try to make home-baked challah, it’s definitely Rosh Hashanah.
Whether you bake challah often or just do it special for Rosh Hashanah, you can make your challah extra special with this adorable pomegranate-shaped challos idea.
You can form a ring or make small rolls. One year, we alternated pomegranates with the Apple Challah Rolls we featured a few years ago.
This Pomegranate Challah would make a nice gift for someone. You can use this Challah Ring Box idea to package the challah with a small jar of honey. See packaging supplies ideas below.
You will need:
- challah dough
- round pan
- leek
- kitchen shears
- egg wash
Directions:
- Form balls out of the challah dough and place them in the perimeter of the pan.
- Cut the leek into chunks and separate the rings.
- Use a kitchen shears to cut small triangle out of the top of one side of the rings to make it look like a
crown. - Brush the challah with egg and place a “crown” on each challah ball.
- Bake challah until golden.
We were inspired to make these challos by Sarit Novak of Misspetel.

Do these freeze well with the leek on top?
Yes, just dont put anything on top of it so the leek doesnt crush.
