Sweet Obedience: Unleavened Chocolate Chip Challah for the Remnant

There’s something sacred about preparing bread that isn’t meant to rise.

No fluff. No puff. No hidden leaven.Just flour, water, oil—and the intention to remember.

This chocolate chip matzo is a sweet offering for the Feast, especially for little ones or anyone walking into this observance with new understanding.

It’s braided not for beauty, but as a quiet symbol of covenant, of unity, of the journey we still walk. What makes it meaningful isn’t the rise.It’s the remembrance.

Why Chocolate Chip Matzo?

Because even in obedience, there is room for joy.

This recipe wasn’t created to imitate dessert, but to gently fold sweetness into remembrance—especially for children and those newly returning to the ancient paths. It’s a way to invite them into the Feast with warmth, without compromising the command.

This matzo is for the tender-hearted, the spiritually hungry, and the family gathers around the table with hands open and hearts turned toward Zion.

Flour Notes — Which Flour & Why

Not all keto flours are created equal—and not all are ideal for matzo.

For this recipe, we use a blend of King Arthur Keto Wheat Flour and Carbalose Flour. Both are low in carbs, free of added leavening agents, and give this matzo structure without compromising texture or compliance.

• King Arthur Keto Flour offers a soft, stretchable dough that’s rich in protein and has a mild flavor.

• Carbalose Flour brings a familiar bread-like chew and density without gluten overload.
  

You can use either one on its own, but we’ve found that the 50/50 blend creates the best balance:

✔ Braids easily

✔ Holds together when baked

✔ Delivers that crisp, golden edge and tender middle

This recipe also avoids almond flour, which not only helps with texture but also makes the matzo feel more symbolic—grain-like in appearance, and closer to the traditional spirit of the command.

✨Tips & Pairings for Your Keto Chocolate Chip Challah

Storage & Savoring Tips

Best Fresh: This challah shines warm out of the oven, when the chocolate is still melty and the crumb is pillowy.

• Storing Leftovers: Wrap tightly and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat slices in a toaster oven for that fresh-baked magic.

• Freezer-Friendly: Slice and freeze individually. Pop in the toaster when your soul (and sweet tooth) needs a lift.

Perfect Pairings

Give your braided beauty a worthy co-star:

☕ Morning Moment:

• Pair with a buttery coffee (think: ghee + MCT) or a cinnamon-spiced keto latte.

• Sprinkle with a bit of sea salt before baking for that salted chocolate vibe.

• 
  

🥥 Midday Mood-Lifter:

• Serve with whipped coconut cream or a slather of nut butter + keto honey drizzle.

• Bonus: Add a handful of crushed pecans or macadamia nuts on top before baking for crunch.

  
  

🌙 Sabbath Sweetness:

• Elevate it with a glass of low-carb red wine or sugar-free grape juice for a sacred, sweet send-off into rest.

• Pair with berries or charoset-inspired compote for tradition with a twist.

  
  

🔥 Pro Tips for Extra Brilliance

• Make it Holy, Not Hole-y: Don’t over-knead. You want that tender crumb, not a tough bite.

• Egg Wash = Glossy Glow: Brush with an egg + almond milk wash before baking for a glossy golden finish.

• Optional Magic Touch: Sprinkle with a cinnamon “sugar” (erythritol + cinnamon) before baking for a sweet crust.
