Absolutely delicious! I'm new to making bread, so cheated and used a breadmaker instead of doing it by hand. I just put all the wet ingredients into the maker first (beat the eggs), then added the dry ingredients, made a well in the flour and put in the yeast, then turned the breadmaker on. I must mention that I did add only 3/4 tsp of salt as 1tbsp seemed too much to me. I also used canola/olive oil instead of vegetable, as that is all I had in the pantry. An hour later, I had a beautifully risen and smooth ball of dough. I 'punched it down' just as the recipe instructed, and from that point on did as the recipe said (dividing it up, and braiding it). When the loaves were done rising, I topped with the beaten egg/water mixture, and sprinkled on a wealth of poppy seeds, then put them in the oven to bake. When the loaves came out of the oven they looked absolutely mouth-wateringly delicious! As a novice bread-baker, I am so proud of what I've been able to make. This really is a fantastic, fool-proof recipe. The dough was smooth and elastic, and once baked the bread was super light, fluffy and airy. It turned out perfectly, although perhaps next time I'll add a tad more sugar as it lost a lot of sweetness after the baking (the dough tasted sweet but once cooked it wasn't as sweet). I'm not sure whether I would have been quite as successful had I attempted to do it by hand, but it's good to know that the breadmaker can be an effective aide. Will definitely make this again!

This tastes nothing like a good challah loaf. It is too dense, and is basically sweetened white bread.

This bread is a little less sweet than the challah I am used to, but it is still absolutely delicious. It has the perfect texture and color. It makes a beautiful four braid loaf. I may add some honey the next time I make it, but then again, I may not. I loved it.

I loved this recipe. It is easy to make and fun for kids to make. I loved this recipe

Not only was this easy to make, it was easy to eat as well! I divided the bread up into 6 portions and braided it all together for a unique look!

This is very good bread and was simple to make. I enjoyed the process. The dough was smooth and silky. I used one cup of whole wheat flour and canola oil instead of vegetable. These baked up so nice and pretty. Great recipe.

This recipe was fairly quick and easier to follow than other Challah recipes I have found. It didn't taste like a traditional Challah. The sugar in it was barely noticeable once baked. It tasted like a very dense white bread. It still was very good and looked beautiful. Just not "sweet" enough for my Challah tastes.
