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!

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 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 have been baking challah for 35 years. This is the BEST RECIPE I have ever made. I made 4 loaves for Rosh Hashanah and bearly had enough left for french toast in the morning. This is a WINNER

True, it's not eggy, but it's yummy. I braided mine and added cinnamon and sugar on top. My loaves turned out fantastic! I will definitely make this again.

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.

My friend and I made this challah (in a college kitchen!) and it was absolutely amazing! We thought it was wonderful, and I'll definitely be making it again.

Fantastic challah recipe! Usually I use a bread machine recipe, but this year, I wanted to do it all by hand. I made one loaf with raisins, which I added in during the second knead, and the first one I left plain, but sprinkled with sesame seeds rather than the poppy seeds. The bread turned out soft and very tasty. I did only need to bake them for 25 minutes, so keep an eye on them depending on how hot your oven gets. They made for a wonderful addition to our Rosh Hashanah dinner.

This delightful bread was a perfect addition to our holiday feasts last year and has been requested by my family and fellow employees again this year.
