Challah is a traditional braided bread originating from Jewish cuisine, often enjoyed during Sabbath meals and holidays. It is made from simple ingredients like flour, water, eggs, sugar, yeast, and a pinch of salt, with variations sometimes including honey or oil for added richness. This golden, slightly sweet bread has a soft, airy texture and its shape often symbolizes unity and tradition. While Challah is a good source of energy-rich carbohydrates, it can be high in calories and sugar, depending on the recipe. Some recipes use whole grain flour for added fiber and nutrients, while others utilize enriched white flour. The inclusion of eggs provides protein and some essential vitamins. Moderation is key when pairing Challah with meals, especially for those mindful of their sugar or calorie intake, but its cultural significance and comforting flavor make it a cherished staple at many tables.
