About Kitka
Kitka is a traditional Eastern European sweet bread, especially popular in Jewish communities during holidays such as Shabbat and Yom Tov. Its soft, fluffy texture is achieved through enriched dough made with ingredients like flour, eggs, sugar, yeast, and oil or butter. Often braided, Kitka may be topped with sesame or poppy seeds for added flavor. While its simple ingredients provide energy, thanks to carbohydrates from the flour and fats from eggs and butter, Kitka is relatively high in sugar, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. It has cultural significance and is often shared as a symbol of community and celebration. While not considered a health food, Kitka's wholesome homemade preparation can be a heartwarming addition to balanced meals when paired with nutrient-rich sides, such as fresh fruits or yogurt.
