Noshin’ Recipe: Onion-Poppy Seed Bread Ring
The twisted ring looks like Queen Esther’s crown, and the onions and poppy seeds are not only delicious but honor this queen’s bravery and piety. It’s also a wonderfully comforting item to bring to a shiva or a tasty addition to the celebration of a baby.
