Bread Machine Challah

This is an excellent, easy recipe. I used the machine to make the dough, then formed it into a loaf, let it rise again and baked it at 350F for 25 minutes. I cut back the salt to 1 tsp. due to my sodium restrictions. The dough feels satiny and the resulting bread is very high rising, with a fine, moist texture. The flavor isn't quite challah, but that may be easy to fix by adding an egg yolk to the whole egg. I highly recommend this recipe. Thanks for posting.

Thia recipe is totally awesome, I use it to make Pan de Jamon, which is a venezuelan tradition for the holidays. This recipe brought back my most treasured childhood memories :)

This was good. I used a packet of yeast, which is think is a little more than 2 tea., and I took the other person's suggestion of adding a little vanilla. I also used UCO (unrefined coconut oil) instead of the margarine; still turned out fine.

Excellent bread! It has a slightly denser crumb with a wonderful tasting crust. I was short on butter, so I took a reviewer's advice and used canola oil. I used the rapid rise cycle on my machine, and was a little worried because it didn't rise as big as I expected. It did bake up great, though next time I will bake on the reg. cycle. Thanks Charmed, for posting this easy but delicious bread! Roxygirl

Loved, loved, loved this. Because I used a second egg I needed to add more flour while kneading, but otherwise followed the recipe. We all thought the flavour was perfect...definitely not too eggy.

I added the second egg and it was delish! The texture inside was so soft! Everyone ate it, DS and DD even asked for more. In my book, that means a keeper. Thanks for sharing.

I added the second egg and hubby complained that it was too eggy. I thought it was okay.

Exactly like store bought! I used the sweet bread setting on medium crust but I would recommend using light next time. I also used the gold medal "better for bread" flour in place of bread flour. Thanks for posting, you saved my bread machine from being given away. :)

This is a good bread recipe. We found it tasted a bit like brioche...it just doesn't have as much egg as the brioche recipe I use. Thanks!

I have been making this Challah since 2000. Somewhere along the line. I used canola oil instead of margarine and found that the oil made a smoother textured loaf. Also,a tad more yeast. I have tried other recipes and always come back to this one. Our Grand-children look foward to Nana's Challah each Holiday season. I forgot to say that I add 1/4 tsp. vanilla. You cannot really taste it but it does add to the flavor. Oh yes, I use my bread machine to make the dough but then form it into a braid, let it rise again and bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Yummy

Didn't taste like Challah. I did add extra egg. Was easy to slice and rose up nicely, I just wasn't crazy about the taste.

Made this tonight, substituting butter for margarine and allpurpose flour (1C of white whole wheat + 2C unbleached white) and it was so soft in the middle, while having the crispiest crust!

Wonderful! It was a flawlessly delicious bread the first time - but I added an extra egg the second time, and it tasted much more like a flawlessly delicious challah. (Don't tell mom, but I liked it as well as her oven baked)! I used the regular cycle, light crust.

Actually this got a 4.75 from one of my boys. I didn't have any but I was told it was very good.

This challah was great, the only thing i did different was add an extra egg to make it a little more eggy.

Excellant Bread! I haven't made bread for about 2 years. This was a hit! I made a meal to take over and share with our neighbors and they loved it as well. Thanks!
