It’s a widely accepted fact that butter is bread's best friend. But when that butter is softened and whipped with a drizzle of honey and flakes of briny sea salt, smearing a slice becomes an act of sheer decadence. Make that bread an eggy loaf of homemade challah dusted with za’atar and sesame seeds, and there’s practically nothing tastier. So we implore you, bake a loaf of David Bazirgan’s challah with za’atar, team it up with his whipped honey butter, and enjoy the sweet life. Get the recipe.
