Challah is a traditional Jewish bread known for its soft, fluffy texture and slightly sweet taste. Typically enjoyed during Sabbath meals and festivals, this braided loaf traces its origins to Eastern European Jewish cuisine. The basic ingredients include flour, water, eggs, yeast, sugar, and a pinch of salt, with variations occasionally incorporating honey or seeds like sesame or poppy. Rich in carbohydrates, Challah is a source of quick energy but also higher in calories due to its sugar and fat content from eggs and sometimes oil. Some versions use whole-grain flours, which can improve fiber content. While it’s not particularly nutrient-rich, its cultural significance as part of communal meals makes it a staple in celebrating heritage and tradition. Moderation is key for those mindful of calorie and sugar intake.
