Zopf is quite possibly the best thing in the world, along with wine and Run D.M.C.

@kerrin: actually my favourit zopf is probably a “chopf” or would that be a “zollah”? anyhow, kind of a mixture: challah-ingredients, no milk, one egg, but melted butter instead of the oil. is not as heavy as zopf but still yummy-buttery in taste : )

oooh let the challah/zopf debate begin ! :) i grew up with challah and now get my challah-fix with zopf. and while similarities do exist (both are great for french toast), they are not really one and the same. i agree with you swissmiss, challah is more airy, while zopf – as nadia concurs, is all about the butter. fluffy eggy challah vs. buttery zopf. mmm to both.

here’s another recipe if your readers want to try making zopf at home – with video too: http://www.freshattitude.laughinglemon.ch/post/How-to-Make-Zopf.aspx

@gp and @swissmiss: a challah is parve, meaning without milk, butter or cream, as mostly a shabbat-dinner is with meat.
beeing swiss and jewish both my challah and zopf are veryvery yummy, but i admit the zopf is more buttery and we swiss love butter.
but then again coming straight from the oven it doesn’t realy matter, they are both sinfully delicious – and i don’t care if they are going straight to my hips!

Zopf is dense and insanely buttery. Challah is fluffy. At least from my experience. Sorry to say that Challah doesn’t even come close…

Schöne Erinngerungen aus der Kindheit. Meine Mutter hat den Sonntags auch oft gemacht (kann mich sogar noch sehr genau daran erinnern als wir in Büsingen in der Schweiz gewohnt haben :- ) )
