Easter Egg Challah

We ran out of challah bread last Friday night. The neighborhood Jewish community was coming by to pick up loaves for Shabbat dinner, but all we had left was French baguettes. At least 10 families requested a loaf of the braided egg bread for next week’s Shabbat. I told the owners that it’s somewhat of a Jewish custom to eat a loaf of challah on Friday nights, and they should try hard to supply the Semites next week.
This Friday, I put on my blue apron and surveyed the store to see what we were selling before I started my shift. Holy Hamotzi lechem min haaretz! There were 10 challahs, all of them baked with EASTER EGGS inside of them. Bright pastel Easter eggs everywhere.
I told the owners that I was going to have a really hard time selling challah to the Jewish customers with Easter eggs inside of them. The Greek owners told me to talk to the baker. I talked to Dmitri, the Greek master baker. He said, “What’s your problem with my challahs?” He was very defensive. I told him that last week I had 10 Jewish families’ come in and place orders for challah the next week. “Yes. I know! So what’s your problem with the 10 challahs I made?!” He was, still, very defensive. “Dmitri, there’s hot pink Easter eggs sticking out of all of them! Jews don’t celebrate Easter. Also, how the hell are you supposed to eat bread with whole eggs in the middle of it?” Dmitri explained to me, “I make a traditional Greek challah bread for Easter! Tsoureki!”
Needless to say, I did not sell any challah or tsoureki that night.
