Challah

EverydayEnriched

Challah (pronounced 'ha-lah') is a traditional Jewish enriched bread characterized by its soft, egg-rich dough and distinctive braided shape. The dough typically contains eggs, oil, and honey, creating a slightly sweet flavor and tender crumb, while an egg wash gives the crust its characteristic golden sheen. Though nutritionally similar to other white breads, its added fats and sugars increase calorie density while remaining cholesterol-free when made with vegetable oil. This ceremonial bread holds particular significance in Jewish Sabbath and holiday observances, often appearing in twisted or round variations for special occasions.
