Easy to make and pretty good flavor, but a little bit dry. Lovely presentation though.

I halved this recipe and still came about with two large loaves! It was good and looked great; it did NOT last long in this house!

I am just learning how to cook and have never made homemade bread of any sort before, but I thought this recipe was pretty simple and straightforward, and my challah came out beautiful! One of my favorite smells in the world is baking bread, and it tasted as good as it smelled. A little too hard on the outside for some reason (maybe I didn't let it rise long enough before glazing?) but the inside was soft and moist! Thanks for the upload marilou!

Mixed up the full recipe and made one braided loaf, 2 one pound loaves and a pan of dinner rolls. Rave reviews from all who tried it. I forgot to lessen the cook time, but still came out great.

Incredible!! Delicious!! We know nothing about baking and it was our first time making bread. My husband and I attempted this very tiring but extremely worthwhile, (and will do it many more times,) baking expedition. We made it into 2 loaves and the only thing we changed is no sesame, we didn't have any. Soooo good. We feel like professionals. I cannot believe how big they grew. 1 loaf would have been scary. We made the 'baked french toast' with it the next morning, from this site. Mmmmm Thank you for this, it gave us a lot of confidence in the kitchen.

Excellent and easier than I'd thought it would be.A very light moist and great tasting bread which is a little bit sweet but not overly so.I'll make this again.

This was a little dry. That's probably because I think I quartered the recipe... I'll try again, though!

Great bread,very simple to make. I did a six braid, which I thought would be difficult and time consuming. VERY easy. I watched a 2 min video on 6 strand braiding. So simple, can't wait to make again. Also, I cut the recipe in half and it still made 2 nice size loaves.

All that hard work really paid off! This is something for the whole family to do in the afternoon. It takes up a lot of time but every minute was worth it. This bread is soooooo yummy! It's really good with honey butter spread. I had enough for two large loaves and two mini loaves (for the boys who worked so hard at helping).

If I could have given it 10 stars, I would have! Despite numerous glitches in the preparation of this wonderful bread, it was perfect as it came from the oven! Ease in preparation, long-lasting freshness, delightful taste and texture have made this a real keeper at my house. What did I do wrong, you ask? Well, I down-sized it to one loaf, but failed to notice that the measurements in the body of the preparation instructions weren't changed. When I saw 'add 1/2 c water,' I did; and then realized I had gone by the original size. Oops! So, I changed it to make 2 loaves...mistake # 2 was assuming I had enough flour for the bigger quantity...Had to make a quick run for another bag of the white stuff...despite these 'operator errors,' my bread turned out beautifully, and I got rave reviews from all of the friends and family who ate it...even 4 days later. It makes fantastic French toast, too. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

This bread was DELICIOUS!! I halved the recipe, and still got an enormous loaf; next time I'll make 2 loaves from the half recipe. I did also double the amount of sugar, and it turned out perfect. I'll definitely be making these to give to friends on special occasions. Thank you!

Turned out great!! Made the dough in my bread machine. I only made 1/2 the recipe and ended up with a huge loaf, next time I will make two loaves from the 1/2. Everyone loved it! Thanks for sharing your recipe!!

This bread turned out great!! A couple things worth mentioning...I used my kitchen aid mixer to knead the dough. Dough was quite sticky, added more flour, and still was what I considered a sticky dough. Raised beautifully. I used 1/3 of the dough to make cinn. buns, and other two thirds to make two loafs ( I braided and added egg to make baby doll bread) Loaves were huge, next time I will make three loaves. Nice texture and flavor.

This recipe is wonderful, the bread is AMAZING! I followed the measurements to a T, but divided the dough into 2 braids. *I also only baked it for about 30 min. & it was done & still very moist! It came out so pretty that I can't wait to make it for friends. Great recipe, thanks!

This has become my standard recipe. The texture and flavor are consistently excellent. I usually split the flour 2/3 white and 1/3 fresh ground spelt, which makes it heartier.

I became a member of this site just so I could review this recipe! This is the best bread I have ever eaten!! The first time I baked it, it yielded 2 massive loaves of beautiful braided bread. Since braided bread is more decorative than useful, I started shaping it into a simple loaf. The bread has a wonderful light sweetness and I thought it would be ideal for making cinnamon rolls, so I rolled it out after the second rise, spread my cinnamon/sugar/butter mix on it, sliced them up, and set them in the pan to rise for the last time before baking. Perfection! I love, love, love this recipe. My husband and I also love eating buns, so I'll shape the dough out into buns every now and then too... Such a versatile and super delicious recipe! Thanks sooooo much for posting it!
