Fabulous recipe! I cant make enough of it. It never lasts long. I make two braided loaves and often give them away to neighbours and as hostess gifts. Everybody loves them! Thanks so much!

    Marie, a very good recipe. I made it exactly as written, making it into 2 smaller loaves. It browned very nicely. Just a little hint for beginners: when braiding, start in the middle, braid to the end, then turn loaf and continue braiding to the other end. That makes a nicer, more even loaf. Thanks for posting...Janet

    I thought this bread was great. Easy to make and just as good as the bakery purchased loaf. We enjoy slicing this bread up for breakfast to make french toast. You should give it a try!!

    Super! This made the prettiest challah I've ever baked-flavor and texture are excellent, too! Followed recipe and instructions exactly with the exception of adding an additional 1 TBS water. Raised beautifully and perfectly baked at 30 minutes. Thanks for posting, Marie!
