Question

If there is no wine, is it possible to make Kiddush over challah?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

When it is impossible to obtain kosher wine [as is common for a Jew staying abroad in places without Jews], one may make Kiddush over bread. 

One recites the entire text of Kiddush, and instead of the blessing "Borei Pri HaGafen," one recites the blessing "HaMotzi Lechem Min Ha'aretz."
