Sticky dough- I had to knead in more than a cup of flour!

This recipe is great! Using the bread machine to make the dough makes this so simple with impressive results. Challah bread is so good toasted with butter and jam, as french toast, or even in your favorite bread pudding recipe. This is a bread I will make over and over.

Excellent flavor! I used 4 cups of bread flour, but the dough was way too sticky. I definitely recommend you add at least 3/4-1 cup of extra bread flour to the bread machine before starting the dough cycle....but begin with the smaller amount, then if you need more flour, add the other 1/4 cup SLOWLY after you turn on the bread machine. Depending on the humidity, you may even need to add more flour before shaping the loaves. Also, my loaves didn't require as much baking time as the recipe states; so watch the oven closely or your crust will burn.

The best! My husband and I almost stood in front of the oven and ate the whole thing warm. Just melts in the mouth. No butter or extras needed - tastes perfect all by itself. And so easy. Thanks so much for this recipe.

This is an excellent, very easy bread to make. My granddaughter helped me make the bread and loved it so much that she took my bread machine home with her.

The first time I used all purpose flour and the dough was sticky. After that I made sure to only use bread flour and the dough wasn't at all sticky. This is so delicious and easy to make every week.

Love it! I added two extra spoons of flour and before kneading I rubbed into my hands olive oil to prevent sticking. Thank you so much for sharing this great recipe!

Easy to follow recipe and the bread was delicious. I followed it to the letter and had no difficulties at all. The honey was a nice addition and gave the bread just a touch more sweetness which is the way I remember it from buying it at the bakery.

I love the taste and texture of this challah, but can't seem to get mine to rise properly. I am giving it four stars b/c it is absolutely addictive and everyone enjoys it, but I sure wish I could make it fluffier. Have tried increasing the yeast but it hasn't made much difference.

This is a fantastic, easy recipe. I doubled the honey and added a little extra yeast, and both loaves turned out beautifully. Next time I will probably triple the honey or add 1/2 cup of honey and then decrease the white sugar; but one thing is for certain - I will be making this again! Update - here's a tip - if you are using quite a bit of honey, mix it in with the water and have it count in your water measurement, otherwise you end up having to add a lot more flour and can end up with a door stop.

I made this bread exactly as the recipe indicates. I used the dough setting on my bread machine and then proofed and baked. The Jewish family I made this for was ecstatic. I'm going back for my fourth jewish holiday with their family and they always want me to bring a loaf. I have no complaints. Sticky doughs require extra flour on the surface you are using it on and on your hands. I find that with a small bowl of flour on the side I can keep it from being sticky and it turns out lovely.

This was just okay. Not great, not bad per se. I have been having bad luck with bread lately, so maybe it was just me. Didn't rise nearly like the picture implies. And yeah, the dough was REALLY sticky. I may have added too much flour at the kneading stage, but I don't think I would bother making this again.
