Challah bread is a rich, braided loaf traditionally rooted in Jewish cuisine and often enjoyed during Shabbat and holidays. Made from simple ingredients—flour, water, sugar, eggs, yeast, and salt—its slightly sweet flavor and fluffy interior make it a versatile choice for meals or snacks. Eggs and sugar contribute to its richness, while the braided design reflects cultural traditions. Challah provides some protein from its eggs and may offer a source of iron and B vitamins from enriched flour. However, it is typically high in carbohydrates and may contain added sugars depending on the recipe, making it more of an occasional treat than an everyday health food. For a more nutritious option, variations made with whole wheat flour can provide added fiber. Its cultural significance and comforting taste make it a beloved staple in many households.
