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.

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.

If you read through the previous reviews, the 1 constant remark “the bread is sticky” appears. We added an additional ¾ c flour to our bread machine (using a total of 4 ½ c flour) which did the trick. What’s the point of using the bread machine if you’re kneading more (in this case A LOT) of extra flour in the end? Our finished product turned out well.

The dough was extremely sticky but after adding a ton of flour to it, it became workable and we were able to braid it. The end product was delicious though.

This is the best Challah recipe! I had just gotten a bread maker that I wanted to try out so I baked this for Sabbath dinner one night instead of buying our Challah. Three generations of family gave it rave reviews! My cousins were fighting over the last piece! We are Jewish and we eat Challah AT LEAST once a week so we all know good Challah when we taste it! My sister taught me that you know your Challah is cooked completely when it sounds hollow when you knock on it.

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.

Very good, easy recipe. This recipe is also good by adding one cup of whole wheat flour to replace one of the cups of white flour.

Looked and tasted great, but I couldn't figure out when it was done so it was a bit undercooked on the inside.

Yummy yummy. Be sure you use bread flour, otherwise the dough might be too sticky. When I first tried this recipe I halved it and the loaf did not rise. I tried it again as written and it was perfect. My daughter's nursery school class ate a loaf for snack and not a crumb was left!

I must admit that I was rather skeptical when I first read this recipe. I did not believe a bread machine could produce a tasty Challah bread without using butter. I was really surprised at the results. I don't think I will ever make it by hand again. It was soooo easy and very yummy! Every one in the house was drooling for more. I have made it several times now and have even made the dough into rolls.

I've made this recipe 4 times in the bread machine now, and it's always been great. Usually it is very sticky to handle, so flour *everything*--your hands, your board,...and have extra flour on hand for frequent re-dosing. I enjoy adding 1 cup plumped golden raisins just before braiding, and everyone loves it. The center usually ends up chewy (whether with our without raisins), but my family seems to prefer it that way. I imagine if you baked it longer it might cook more thoroughly.

This is by far my favorite bread recipe! It is a nice sweet dense bread. I have made it several times. Everyone loves it and I have had quite a few requests for the recipe. I do notice the moisture of the dough can sometimes be dependant upon the weather. But saying that I have never had it fail for me. I do sometimes add a smidgen more yeast (I use the stuff in the jar). Sometimes I will also make one large loaf instead of two small ones. I just love this recipe it is definately a staple in my recipe box, and THANK YOU for sharing this one!
