This is wonderful bread and easy to make. I am very new to baking bread, have only made Sy's Challah from here and this. I made the challah first and it was good; I gave it 5 stars. I'd give this 6 if I could! I love that it makes one large loaf instead of 2. I've made this one twice and hot from the oven it's divine and toasted the next morning it's better than any store bought that's less than five bucks a loaf. I've tried it with and without the egg wash. My submitted photos (red background) are without the egg wash and the crust was nice and soft, which my husband and son like. I prefer the crispy, crackly, chewy crust sometimes and the egg wash got it sort of there, but not as much as I like. Will have to research it a little further. This recipe is time consuming, but not at all difficult or hard work, at least not for me with my kitchenaid with the bread hook.
