For Jewish families, Friday night means one thing: Shabbat Dinner. The festive meal welcomes the day of rest, the Sabbath (Shabbat), and separates the work week from the weekend. It always includes special food, plenty of wine, and (depending on tradition) a full night of song, conversation, and no iPhones.

Shabbat isn't Shabbat without challah. Traditionally, you actually need two loaves of challah. To save time before Friday night, prepare the dough and braid it, egg washing and baking the bread just before dinner.

A versatile side that goes with pretty much any entree, this pilaf is easy to execute and fun to dress up with seasonings and veggies. Those who don’t mix dairy with meat (for Kosher restrictions) can substitute margarine or plant-based butter for the real thing.
