My DH learned that one should have a milchig challah at the beginning of the shavous day meal (and then switch to a fleishig meal so you will need to use 2 challahs). I know some people just have a milchig appetizer so the challah is eaten with milchig, but he learned milchig challah.

I know I could just use butter instead of egg to top any bread recipe, but I’d prefer a milchig dough.

Any suggestions? A small recipe would be great because I only need one challah (I can make some rolls to freeze for after Yom Tov but I have limited milchig oven space/time, so less is better)

Thanks!

I"m not entirely sure it's halachically permitted to make a milchig challah. But I also don't want to start another one of "those threads"...

This . I’ve heard this too. But maybe it’s allowed if it’s made in a different shape that would identify that it’s dairy. But I too heard that baking dairy challos and rolls are not allowed.

Long story short (according to Shulchan Aruch)- you're allowed to make a dairy dough, but there are a few caveats. 1) make it a distinct shape, and or 2) make only enough for one meal (e.g. Shavuos meal).

Ok on with OP's question... I would just take a small batch challah dough and sub out the oil for melted butter. Maybe mix in a little cheese and fresh chives. 😊 Wish I had an exact recipe for you!

I appreciate your concern, but as I mentioned my husband learned that one should make a milchig challah for the shavous meal, so I would assume it is permitted to do so.

(We will make it in a distinctive shape to avoid any issues of it getting mistaken for pareve.)

Any good recipes?

In general, keep in mind that the dough has to be Hamotzi (for ashkenazim). We did ask about dough that uses milk as the liquid and were told that as long as it is bread (as opposed to cake), it is fine.

I always thought of brioche as more of a hybrid of bread & cake (please correct me if I'm wrong). That might not work.

Thanks! If I don't find a better option, I'll do something like that.

OP, does the challah itself need to be milchig? Or can you just smear it with cream cheese or butter when you eat it? I would think that would be easier . No additional batch of challah.

Or maybe you can use to butter to make a milchig crumb topping to sprinkle on top of a regular challah.

That's a very valid point. Brioche is more of a dessert bread extremely rich in eggs and butter. Amount of eggs, butter and sugar is much higher than amount of liquid, that alone would render brioche a mezonos even when made with water.

Yes, he learned the challah itself has to be milchig. I can use reg dough and just coat it with butter before baking (instead of egg) but I’d like a real milchig bread, if possible.

I never heard of a requirement to make milchik challah. if you were to make milchik bread, which is generally frowned upon, you have to make it very visibly different from your regular loaves to prevent the possibility of mistakenly serving it at a fleishik meal. This is halacha, not custom. just coating the crust with butter wouldn't do it. you'd have to make it look completely different. if I were making it, which I wouldn't, I would make it a weird shape and stamp it all over with the letter chet for chalavi. And then I would either make sure it was all eaten up at that meal or store the leftovers in an obviously milchik container.

Ask your dh where he learned about the "requirement" for milchik challah, and then AYLOR. Some people think you "have to" have cheesecake on Shavuos, too.

He learned it in a Halacha shiur last year. (ETA I just double checked with him, he showed it to me inside- the Mishna Berura brings it as a minhag. So, while it might not be 'halacha', it is still a recommended practice and definitely not something to be frowned upon.)

I didn’t mean butter would make it identifiable, just that that would qualify it as milchig bread. I said I would make it a distinct shape.

I always do garlic knots for shavuos. melted butter, crushed garlic and parsley if desired. Brush onto challah. Yum. Very obviously milchig and really good.

Brioche is dairy challah which is what you are looking for.

Add shredded cheese into the dough.

What distict shape will you be doing? I once asked my rov about making a milchig bread. He said it has to be clearly distinctive. I had a 2 bread machines at the time. one was on its last legs. And made a cylinder shaped bread. So I used that to make the cheesy bread.
