My family has a soft spot for homemade bread. When we are visiting different cities or farmer’s markets, the kids gravitate to the homemade breads and ask for a loaf to take home. While I used to make a lot of bread for our family, it’s a time consuming process. There’s the time spent waiting for it to rise, the kneading–which is good when I am feeling frustrated–and the second rising time. I could easily spend four hours on a loaf of bread. If I spend time making specialty breads that I braid and add a filling, I would add another hour. When I received an opportunity to try Voila! Hallah traditional egg bread mixes, which promised “to help make traditional bread at home the modern way,” I was all over it. Voila! Hallah is available in three flavors, Traditional, Simply Spelt, and Wholey Wheat. Designed to taste homemade, the bread is kosher, all natural and only uses premium ingredients. We started with the Simply Spelt and I had a loaf of bread on our table –that I had braided, no less–in less than an hour and a half including rising time. I received so many compliments on the bread, even the kids devoured it and asked me to make more.
To top our “homemade” bread, I whipped up some Maple Cranberry butter. It has such a pretty color and looks so festive I used it on our holiday table. I adapted the original recipe because I felt it was a little too sour for my taste. If you are diabetic or can’t have sugar, substitute the sugar with an artificial sweetener or honey.
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) cranberries
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) sugar or artificial sweetener
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (can add more if you are a big maple syrup fan)
- 1 stick (4 ounces) butter
- Place cranberries in a food processor or blender until finely chopped. Add sugar or artificial sweetener, maple syrup and butter to blender or food processor and process until smooth. Store in the fridge until ready to use.

Speaking of bread… did you know that at least one company sells ancient wheat? It is non hybridized like modern wheat it. You can check them out here http://jovialfoods.com . I am not affiliated with them, I just like to share healthy options with others.
I have never made homemade bread but would love too. Reading ingredient labels makes me want to make everything myself. I’m also craving maple cranberry butter!
I think I would like to try the Traditional bread. Oh it sounds delicious.
Oh…. how great this sounds. I was raised eating honey butter and never thought of using maple… and cranberry. I am going to surprise my Hubs with maple butter. I will leave out the cranberries for him…and add them for me.
Oh wow – I NEED to try that Maple Cranberry Butter on my homemade bread. It sounds amazing!!
