This article will challenge the assumption that the challah bread is not of Ashkenazi origin but instead of Sephardic origin. It claims to uncover the place of challah bread in history through a historiographical analysis, followed by a study of old sources that mentions it – even including the first recipe – thus, bringing down the previously established postulates. This article also purports to offering an explanation on the link between Ashkenazi and challah bread, which has made it the paragon – alongside the gefiltefish – of the Jewish cuisine from Eastern Europe.
