hallah
Hallah is a type of bread in Jewish cuisine that is typically eaten on ceremonial occasions such as Sabbath and major Jewish holidays (excluding Passover). It's often characterized by its braided form, although it can come in various shapes, and it is typically sweet and egg-rich. The term "hallah" is also used in Jewish law for a small bit of dough that is traditionally separated before the bread is baked.

Hallah
Hallah is the ninth tractate of Seder Zeraim of the Mishnah and of the Talmud. This "Hallah" was separated from bread dough made from the five species of grain and put aside for a Kohen in Biblical times and the time of the Jewish Temple. Today, it is separated and burnt in the oven or fed to birds in a few Jewish communities. Before the Hallah is separated a blessing, "Al Atefias Challah", is said. The amount separated is only from bread products made from 1.2 kilos of flour or more or 1.67 kilos or more or 2.25 kilos or more and is the size of a large olive. If less than the requisite amount is used, some separate without a blessing while others do not separate at all. If no separation is done while cooking, it can be done afterwards without a blessing.
