This was my first time making and tasting challah and it is delicious! It reminds me of a rich brioche. I was able to make 4 large 6 braided loaves with this recipe. I took other reviewers' advice and added 2 extra egg yolks. I also used whole milk instead of water and butter instead of the vegetable oil. All 4 loaves took 25 mintues to bake. I rotated the pans halfway through baking for even browning. A really great tasting bread!

I had never had Challah before and so had no idea what to expect. But it was delicious! I served it to my guests and my one friend and her little boy devoured piece after piece. I mixed a teaspoon of garlic powder and onion powder each into soft butter for a spread. This recipe I will keep!

A little more difficult than I was expecting, and takes some significant experience with bread doughs. My friend and I made it together and hers was much better, though.

This is the best I have tried so far. It is very delicious. I followed the directions exactly and it turned out great! Make sure you watch the baking time and check it 5 minutes before to make sure it doesn't brown too much.

I followed this recipe with no additions or deletions and it was really good. I wasn't so sure it would turn out that way, though. Eight cups of flour was not enough for me - I must've added two additional cups to the dough to get it to the right consistency. It also took a long time to rise - 2 1/2 hours instead of 1 1/2.

I've now made this twice, and both times it was delicious! Instead of oil I use applesauce, add two extra eggs to the mix and throw in 3/4ths of a cup of golden raisins. It's a good way for me to get extra protein in a delicious snack!

This turned out tasty , smells wonderful and looks great. I used half whole wheat flour, added 1/2 a cup of brown sugar, and two extra egg yolks. Then I used an egg wash and baked for 20 minutes uncovered then another 10 minutes loosely covered in foil. It's a little dry, next time I am going to add a bit more salt and oil, 1 cup of honey (no brown sugar), and bake it for 25 minutes uncovered to tweak it, but it's really good now anyway:)

My 13 year old daughter and I made this for the first time ever making a bread. We both had a blast and we thought it came out great! We gave our neighbor the other loaf. All of us agreed, it's a definite keeper! I thought it was too dense but was told we over-kneeded ithe dough. We'll cut back next time and add golden raisins.

I used 1 egg plus 2 egg yolks in the dough, and I also took the advice of adding some honey in with the egg wash. Delicious!! I let it rise for a bit too long and they were probably twice the size they should've been, but the baking instructions were perfect. Very tasty! :)

I made this recipe yesterday and it turned out great. Light and fluffy. Way too much for our family of four. I made three round rolls with this recipe. Need to figure out how to half it.

Wow! I just made this recipe, the bread is still warm. We loved it. I only made one loaf so I halved the ingredients and it's delicious. The only thing I think I will change next time is adding more honey, we like it sweeter. Thank you so much!

This was the first loaf of bread I ever made, and I'm going to have to make more because it's so delicious! I only made one loaf. It came out with a beautiful golden brown crust, the slightest hint of sweetness from the honey, and a nice soft interior. I think I added about an extra 1 1/2 cups of flour but it was fun to knead it and braid the dough. Thank you for a great recipe!

This bread came out wonderfully! I mixed mine in my mixer with the dough hook on speed 2 and had to add 2 more cups of flour, but it came out perfectly! It's a lot of bread, so maybe next time I will half it

This was good. Not our favorite (I always make challah with 1/3 white, 1/3 wheat and 1/3 barley flours, which I did here, but otherwise followed recipe.) We really enjoyed it, just not a fav. (We have 2 other recipes that are debating their superiority over each other...)

Whenever I make this, it doesn't last long. I tend to make a twist instead of a braid and increase the honey a bit.

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.
