This showstopping challah begins with a rich chocolate dough, deeply cocoa-kissed and braided. . As you slice into it, a lush filling of pistachio knafeh reveals itself—shredded kataifi pastry soaked in sugar syrup and folded with finely ground pistachios. 

Nestled within the folds are melting pockets of chocolate chips, adding a smooth, sweet contrast to the nutty crunch of the knafeh. The outside of the challah is just as lavish: topped with pistachios and more chocolate chips, creating a textured crown.

A final flourish? A light dusting of edible gold dust, catching the light and giving this luxurious loaf a gleam worthy of a Dubai dessert display.
