About Houska

Houska is a traditional Czech bread known for its soft texture and slightly sweet flavor. Typically braided in shape, it is made from simple ingredients like wheat flour, yeast, milk, butter, sugar, and eggs, occasionally topped with poppy seeds, caraway seeds, or salt. Originating in Czech cuisine, Houska serves as a staple breakfast or snack item, often enjoyed plain or with spreads like butter and jam. While Houska provides energy from carbohydrates and some protein from the eggs and milk, it is relatively high in refined flour and may contain added sugar, limiting its nutritional density. It is best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. For a healthier twist, whole-grain flour or less sugar can be used in recipes without compromising its delightful taste and texture. Houska reflects the warmth and simplicity of Czech culinary traditions.
