I once made a whole wheat challah on request for a friend who invited us over for a Rosh Hashanah seder. I used olive oil for the fat, honey for the sweetener and, IIRC, incorporated chopped Medjool dates into the dough instead of raisins. The recipe was just something that I created using my imagination and a spreadsheet; I could create a sourdough variant if anyone is interested. Dan
