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.

This is, somehow, simultaneously rich and light. The texture is dense without being heavy, the crust is simply to die for, and the aroma while it's baking made it very hard to wait for the bread machine cycle to finish. I used the sweet bread setting, regular crust. Thanks for a definite keeper!

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

Easy to make but doesn't taste like Challah. I will, however, use it as my white bread recipe as I liked the taste. I used the sweet cycle on my bread machine. Makes great toast! Nice and light.

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!

Very nice bread. Followed the recipe as written and didn't need to change anything. The leftovers will make great French toast. Thanks for sharing.

This is a simple, delicious way to make challah. It had the richer flavor I've come to expect from challah, but was lighter than some, which I enjoyed. The only change I made was to use Egg Beaters in place of the egg. I made a 1.5 lb loaf. This makes a great piece of toast, and also worked out well in Rita L's Chocolate Bread Pudding Chocolate Bread Pudding.

Oh Wow! This is fantastic Challah bread! I never thought about doing Challah in the bread machine with a traditional loaf, but this was fantastic. The loaf I made rose really high and was so light and fluffy and just lightly sweet. It was perfect. I used my ABM for the dough cycle and then baked my loaf at 350 for about 25 minutes. Perfection!

Great bread! I am a bread lover and this recipe definitely fits nicely with the few at the top of the list. Rose high in my ABM, tastes great and is very light. This is the second time i make it and it was a winner both time. Tried it also as a dough, and breaded, did not like it as much as the loaf. Thanks for posting.
