Breadsmith
Who needs cake when there’s Breadsmith’s challah? The hand-braided loaves come in multiple flavors, but purists should stick with the traditional egg, with its rich and dense crumb. Part of a chain headquartered in Whitefish Bay, Wis., the local bakery is run by franchise owners Brenda and Tamir Bennaim, who turn out thousands of challahs each week at their Potomac shop.
