About Homemade challah

Homemade challah is a traditional Jewish bread known for its soft, slightly sweet flavor and distinctive braided appearance. Commonly enjoyed during Shabbat and holidays, this bread has roots in Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine. The dough is typically made with flour, eggs, water, yeast, sugar, and a dash of salt, giving it a rich, tender texture. While challah is a comforting and celebratory food, its nutritional profile varies depending on the ingredients. It is a good source of carbohydrates and provides energy, with eggs contributing some protein and vitamins. However, its high sugar content and potential use of refined flour mean moderation is key for those monitoring their sugar intake or pursuing whole-grain options. To enhance its health aspects, some recipes substitute whole wheat flour or reduce sugar. Homemade challah can be a meaningful addition to meals, particularly when balanced with nutrient-rich sides.
