  1. I am very tough to impress with bread recipes. I think I probably have to high of a standard the way a bread should look and taste. I have to say that this recipe is perfect. The texture of the dough was very easy to shape. I didn't need all 7 1/2 cups flour, but just 6 3/4 cups. I glazed the bread with the egg wash and baked it for just 15 minutes. It was hard not to attack the oven, but it was definetly worth the wait. I can't wait to see how my family enjoys it with their dinner tonight. Hat's off to you, Caryn!
     
  2. Great Challah! The dough didn't rise as much as I would have liked but I think thats somehow my fault... Everyone loved them anyway. I mixed toasted sesame seeds into the egg wash before glazing. They were really nice and made exactly 4 medium sized loaves, just as you said. Thanks Caryn!
     
  3. Caryn, your Challah recipe is 1st. Rate! It's so easy...the KA does all the work! I did glaze the loaves before baking...that makes them pretty! Thank you for sharing...definitely a keeper! LC
     
  4. Very good. This is my first time making challah. It was so fun! i think next time i might only make 2 large ones and have a longer second rise. i will definitely be making this again. Thanks for the recipe!

  1. I used honey and butter instead of sugar and oil; and subbed about a cup of WW flour as well. This is great bread - I kneaded it by hand for about 5 minutes and it took approx. an hour for the first rise. The braids didn't rise much before they went into the oven, but came out nicely. Thanks!
