About Challah roll

Challah is a traditional Jewish bread, commonly associated with Sabbath and holiday meals. It originates from Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine and is notable for its braided shape. Typically made from enriched dough using ingredients like flour, water, eggs, yeast, sugar, and salt, challah rolls are slightly sweet and soft. Nutritionally, a challah roll provides a significant source of carbohydrates for energy, around 120-150 calories per small roll, and small amounts of protein and fat. Enriched versions may contain added iron, folic acid, and B vitamins, depending on the flour used.

Health Benefits

• Provides sustained energy due to its high carbohydrate content, ideal for active individuals or as part of balanced meals.
• Contains B vitamins (like thiamine and riboflavin) from enriched flour, which support metabolism and red blood cell production.
• Egg-enriched dough contributes a small amount of protein, which aids in muscle repair and maintenance.

Are there any health benefits or concerns when eating Challah Roll?

Challah rolls are enriched with nutrients like iron and folic acid, contributing to overall nutrition. However, they can also be high in refined carbs and sugars, depending on the recipe, which may lead to blood sugar spikes if consumed in excess. Moderation is key to enjoying challah rolls as part of a healthy diet.

What is the recommended serving size for Challah Roll?

A standard serving size for a challah roll is typically one roll, which weighs about 60-70 grams and contains approximately 150-200 calories. Pairing it with protein and fiber-rich foods like eggs or salads can help create a more balanced meal.

How does Challah Roll compare to regular bread?

Challah rolls are generally sweeter and richer than regular bread due to their inclusion of eggs, sugar, and sometimes oil or honey. They tend to have a softer, fluffier texture but may also be higher in calories and sugars compared to standard white or whole grain bread.
