Rosh Hashanah Sweet Treats: Apples and Honey from Breads Bakery

Rosh Hashanah Traditions

• 🍎 Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins tomorrow night at sundown and is full of symbolism.
• 🍯 A key tradition involves eating apples and honey to symbolize hope and sweetness for the year ahead.

Breads Bakery's Special Honey

• 🐝 Gotti Pel, founder of Breads Bakery, shares their unique New York City rooftop honey.
• 🏙️ The honey is complex and beautiful due to the diverse plant life found in New York.
• 💡 This honey is the foundation for many of their sweet treats.

Symbolic Breads Bakery Offerings

• 🍞 Hala bread with baked-in apple is a centerpiece for the holiday table, symbolizing continuity and the circle of life.
• 🥣 The tradition of 'rip it and dip it' is encouraged for hala and honey, emphasizing a communal and less formal way to enjoy the treat.
• 🍎 An entire apple baked into hala is highlighted as an exceptional offering.

Sweet Variations and Bobka

• 🧈 A variation includes adding butter and honey on top of hala for an extra layer of sweetness.
• 🍰 Breads Bakery is known for its bobka, and for Rosh Hashanah, they offer an apple bobka.
• 🍏 This seasonal bobka aligns with the peak of apple season and honey availability, making it a perfect fit for the holiday.
• 🌿 The bakery also recently launched a successful plant-based vegan bobka in collaboration with Eleven Madison Park.
