About Halla bread
Challah bread is a traditional Jewish bread enjoyed during Sabbath and holidays. It originates from Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine and is known for its braided appearance and slightly sweet taste. Made primarily from flour, water, eggs, sugar, yeast, and oil, it has a soft texture and golden crust. Nutritionally, challah provides a source of carbohydrates for energy, moderate amounts of protein from the eggs, and small amounts of fat. It varies in calorie content depending on the inclusion of sugar and fat. While not particularly rich in fiber, it is fortified with nutrients like folate and iron if made with enriched flour.
Health Benefits
- Provides energy due to its carbohydrate content (approximately 20-25g per slice, depending on recipe).
- May support red blood cell formation if made with enriched flour containing iron and folic acid.
- Contains essential fats and fat-soluble vitamins (like vitamin A) from the inclusion of eggs and oil.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store challah in a sealed plastic bag or airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze it to maintain freshness.

How does Halla Bread compare to other types of bread?
