This was delicious bread. I made the loaves last night and froze them for next week's Rosh Hashanah meals. This isn't as eggy as I would have liked (I wanted to reproduce the challah from Zomick's bakery in NY and this really wasn't it). I baked the loaves one at a time on a pizza stone covered with greased tin foil. Every 10 minutes or so I threw 5-6 ice cubes into the bottom of the oven to keep it steamy and get a crispy crust. Took about 40 minutes to bake. Next time I'll add chocolate chips to the batter and top with cinnamon-sugar. Thanks for a great basic recipe.

I searched for a recipe similar to a friend's that wouldn't give her's up. Now I've found one even better! I enjoyed making this recipe because it was easy - no fuss. It baked well, although I only put it in for 25 minutes. My family LOVES it and I think it is just the right amount of sweet to be delightful. It is moist and very hard to stop eating - beware! Challah has a beautiful presentation being that it is braided and this recipe is a sure way to impress anyone.

As a Japanese recently moved to US, I know little about Jewish culture. But if this beautiful and delicious bread is their traditional food, I am so jealous.

This bread is wonderful. My husband and I have been buying challah at a local bakery for years because I could never come up with an equal. This recipe is it!

I have never made bread from scratch before and this is so easy! I did find it to be a little dry though. Next time I will add more honey and maybe some raisins to moisten it a bit. Good flavor and beautiful presentation.

I had never made challah before, but I think this is a really good recipe. Next time I think I'll add a pinch more salt, or maybe more honey--just to give it some added flavor. I also thought it was a good basic recipe to add herbs and spices to, I think I'll add dill next time to see what happens. I didn't know if I was supposed to separate the third egg for the egg wash, so I kept it whole; as a result, I ended up with a few bits of scrambled egg on the top! I think I'll just do the yolk next time? Any ideas?

When I started making challah on Friday nights, I searched for over a year for a good recipe. I actually bought cookbooks with one challah recipe in hopes that it would be "the one". Then I found this recipe. It is without a doubt, the best challah I've ever made (and much better than most of the store-bought ones in the Boston area). It is especially wonderful with raisins, topped with cinnamon sugar. One caveat though: be careful about the baking time. Mine never takes more than 25 minutes in the oven.

REALLY GREAT!!! When i found that my local bakery was out of the round challot for Rosh Hashana, i made this recipe simply by searching for "honey challah" in a search engine. After years of fruitless attempts at making challah that were either too yeasty or just tasteless and hard, this is a REAL WINNER, and my kids think so too!!! Thanks a bunch! ...i just would have liked it to come out fluffier..

I needed a pretty loaf of bread that didn't take a long time to make and this was it. My family loved it and I got lots of compliments from friends who thought it looked beautiful. I have never braided bread before so I didn't know what to expect but it was so easy. Thanks for this recipe!

I love making bread and often trying new recipes has given me a good point of reference. This bread was easy to make and turned out really nice, with abeautiful crunch and great flavor. I added a bit more honey than called for, for a great sweet bread. The dough was great to deal with and easy to shape.

We live in Israel and this receipe's taste is as authentic as the loaves we buy in the shop for Shabbat!!! Great taste and simple to do ( first time I have ever made bread). One loaf I flavored with onion and the other with herbs. Superb.

I made this for a school class on breads around the world. It is SO good! Try it sliced and toasted with honey. My 7 year old helped, and though she didn't knead anywhere near 5 minutes, it still turned out fine!
