If you have been a regular reader, you will have picked up on the fact I like to bake, a lot. I do most of my baking from scratch but recently I was approached by Tribes -A- Dozen to give their Voila! HALLAH egg bread mixes a try. Having never made an egg bread before, they had my interest. Their company’s motto of “Break Bread, Not Tradition” also peeked my interest. You know me, I love traditional things. Okay, I was in, I would give them a try and see if these boxed mixes were as good as they say.
Not only that, the box let me know a few other things that really hit home with me….. Like they are made in the USA., their boxes are 100% recycled paperboard and their manufacturing plant not only uses renewable energy, but reduces, reuses, and recycles 99% of all product waste. My inner tree hugger was purring like a kitten. Well done Tribes -A- Dozen!!!
But I wasn’t asked to get all touchy feely with their box, I was asked to review their product, so off to the kitchen I went. They sent me a traditional, a wheat, and a spelt (an ancient grain) mix to try and I can say I did enjoy making them. The directions on the box were detailed and easy to follow and required very few add in ingredients. My only “problem” was they said to use a stand mixer and well I don’t own one. (If Kitchen Aid wants to send me one to review, I would be forever in love with them, so let them know LOL) But even without a stand mixer I had no problems whipping up these mixes.
I had never done a braided loaf before, but after giving it a try on the traditional mix, I love it. Why had I never braided bread before?!?! It is beautiful. I did the spelt in the traditional loaf form as each of these mixes can be prepared either way.
So how do I feel about Tribes -A- Dozen’s Voila! HALLAH bread mixes? I love the natural and organic ingredients. And for my Jewish friend’s, they are kosher. I think Leah Hadad, the founder and president of the company has found her niche with a great product! She has designed a product that introduces people to a traditional European bread and makes it easy for them to bake it at home.
Tribes -A- Dozen can be found on Facebook as well as on Twitter! And best of all they can be found in your kitchen!!! That’s right!

Looks good! I personally love spelt, and it make a great pizza crust. Nice and nutty tasting. I make a killer bread pudding with challah bread, choc chips and pecans. OMG, so good!!!
I love Challah bread, would like to give it a try and we don't have a stand mixer either.
I've never had Hallah bread, but would love to try it!
I have just got back into making bread, I would love to try this out!
Now this is a rare one I am very interested in. I always make our bread, have for years and I do not own a stand mixer either. I must say it looks excellent. Fingers are crossed.
You are right, the braided loaf is very pretty!
never tried it, but would love to
Would love to win some bread mixes. No store close to where I live!
I have never tried Hallah bread mix, but your review makes me want to! Not only does it sound great, but I love supporting products that are good for my family (all ingredients I can pronounce and know what they are) but are also responsible (like the recycled packaging and very little waste) My inner tree hugger is very impressed. I entered the contest, and hope I get a chance to try!
Homemade bread is one of my favorite things, I would love to try out these mixes!
OMG THAT LOOKS SO YUMMY WAS IT?
I have actually never had Hallah bread before but I really want some now. I'm a bit of a bread addict and that loaf looks so good. =)
