The secret to buying kosher bread

 Bread is one of the most difficult things to buy for a kosher diet. The rules regarding the manufacturing of bread means that most standard loaves cannot be eaten by observant Jews, because they contain materials which have not been prepared in an authorized way, or because they contain ingredients which are not suitable for eating due to their origins. This can make it very difficult for Jewish families can find suitable bread for their families. This is also true for the family during particular periods of the year, when most grains are also forbidden.

When bread is banned

Although some types of breadare allowed for most of the year, when it comes to the period around Passover, observed for 8 days in the USA, a lot of breads can be unsuitable for use. This is due to the Jewish Exodus from Egypt resulting in many people being unable to leaven their bread. During Passover, leavened breads, including pasta and breadcrumbs, are forbidden. Only the traditional unleavened bread, Matzo, is allowed, and often takes the place of bread during this period.

In other cases, breads may be forbidden outside of the Passover periods because it is made with dough ingredients made with shortening, dairy, or eggs, or mixed using tools that have also been used on other mixtures. These need to be supervised by a rabbi, which excludes a number of breads.

Jewish Challah

In addition to the breads eaten in the USA as standard, there is also a specific type of bread known as Challah, and involves a ritual called the 'taking of Challah' outside of a standard bakery, under the rules of mitzvah. This task can be performed at home, and involves taking a piece out of each piece of bread while it is in the same room, and then burning them individually. If there are several different flours used in the breads, then the Challah must be taken from each type of bread and burned as usual.

Where to find kosher bread

The ability to find different types of kosher bread may vary wildly between the different times of year. Passover will be most difficult, but buyers may also struggle at other times of year. There are several ways in which you can find the perfect bread for your table, including breads which are made using unleavened flour during the Passover period. In most cases, the best place to find the essential bread is to go online, and find a supplier of specifically kosher foods. This helps to ensure that the bread you buy really is completely pure, so that you can use it for celebrations without having to worry about its source.
