I have made challah before and I had success with the previous recipe and goodness I wish I had stuck with that one! This makes for a delicious bread but it calls for the preparer to let it rise AFTER you braid it. When I did that (I admit I was perplexed at the instruction) the challah rose and no longer looked like it was braided. I am disappointed that this had to happen. Next time I know to stick to my other cookbook.
