About Hala bread
Challah bread, a traditional staple in Jewish cuisine, is made from a rich, slightly sweet dough consisting of flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, eggs, and oil or butter. Its iconic braided appearance symbolizes unity and tradition, often gracing tables during Shabbat and festive holidays. Nutritionally, challah is high in carbohydrates and provides quick energy, but its enriched composition means it is also higher in calories and fat compared to some other breads. The inclusion of eggs contributes small amounts of protein, vitamins, and minerals like choline, while the sugar and refined flour can lead to lower fiber content. Though not considered a whole-grain bread, it can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet when paired with nutrient-dense toppings or sides. Variations, such as whole wheat challah, offer a more fibrous option for those seeking enhanced nutritional benefits.
