# Some have the custom to recite "birshus," meaning, "with your permission," before reciting the beracha. <ref> Rama 167:14, Aruch Hashulchan 167:29 and Mishna Brurah 274:2. The Vilna Gaon (Maaseh Rav 78), however, views this as a [[hefsek]] and says it should not be recited. </ref>

# It is a custom among Sepharadim to sing "lemivtza al rifta" between netilat yadayim and the beracha of hamotzi for the bread. <ref> Maran HaHida (Mahaziq Berakha 166:3) writes that he saw Rabanan Qadisha (our Holy Sages) sing LeMibsa’ ‘al Rifta after washing and before hamosi. The Ben Ish Hai (VaYera, 14) quotes the above statement of Maran HaHida and adds: “In our own home we have the custom from our forefathers to recite LeMibsa’ between washing and hamosi, and it should be said at all three meals of Shabbat.” See Sh"t (p.192) by Ribi Barukh Toledano. Ribi Ya’aqob Benaim Sh”t (Maghen Abot, O”H p.426 §40) attests to this being the minhag of Tetouan. </ref>

===Salt===
# Before eating the challah, one should dip it in salt. <ref> Rama 167:5, Yalkut Yosef 274:18, [http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14556&st=&pgnum=91 Taamei Haminhagim pg. 78]. Beit Yosef 167 brings from the Shibbolei Haleket that this is because one's table is compared to the mizbeach, and salt was used with every sacrifice in the beit hamikdash. see also [http://www.torahmusings.com/2011/06/salt-and-challah/ Salt and challah] by Rabbi Gil Student</ref> If one does not have salt, he should dip it in something else which has salt or in sugar. <ref> Yalkut Yosef 274:18 </ref>
