Challah bread is a traditional braided loaf originating from Jewish cuisine, often enjoyed during Shabbat and holidays. Made with simple ingredients like flour, water, eggs, yeast, sugar, and oil, its slightly sweet and fluffy texture makes it a beloved staple. The inclusion of eggs enriches the bread with protein, while the oil adds moisture and a soft crumb. However, depending on the recipe, it can be high in refined carbohydrates and calories due to the sugar and white flour content. Healthier versions may substitute whole wheat flour or reduce sugar for added fiber and lower glycemic impact. While not typically gluten-free, Challah provides a satisfying, culturally significant option for special occasions.
