I followed the instructions, and it produced the prettiest and tastiest loaves. Always wanted to make braided bread, but never knew how. My first time making bread myself, without the bread machine. THANK YOU Sy for the great recipe.

A very easy recipe and quite tasty. It makes a beautiful bread. I would also recommend adding the salt a little later in the process--at the same time as, or right before you add flour.

My friend and I made this for the New Year. It was our first Challah experience. It did not rise well and turned out hard as a rock. I think this is because we did not mix the yeast/sugar/water separately in order to activate the yeast as I've done in other bread recipes. I also read that salt should be added with the dry ingredients so you don't end up killing the yeast. I am giving this 2stars until I make it again following the yeast directions from a different recipe. It was very disappointing.

Very nice and tasty! A wonderful dough to work with. I also added 1/2 cup wheat germ and used butter instead of vegetable shortening.

Having never made challah before I was looking for a well reviewed basic recipe. This was it! I did not need 24 servings so I reduced the recipe by about half. I used quick rise yeast and it still required more time than the recipe called for, but that could be me who knows. I also added 1/4 cup honey to make it sweet. It was amazing.

Like she said, not a very sweet challah recipe, but easy as anything! I liked the texture -- fluffy yet not too dry.

I substituted whole wheat flour and added extra water and oil to compensate for that. It came out delicious. The double rising is key.

Another wonderful Challah Bread recipe! The only change I made was adding honey to the mixture in lieu of the sugar. Fantastic and made the BEST French toast! Thanks Sy!!

This made an absolutely glorious loaf of bread, all I did was add a little bit more sugar. Easy, looked beautiful, tasted better. The family scarfed it down. Not a crumb left at the end of the day. Wonderful recipe, cannot thank Sy enough.

Oh my gosh!!! I'm throwing out my quick challah recipe, this one is amazing! I prefer a less sweet, more salty challah- so I added a half teaspoon of salt, and WOW! MAKE THIS BREAD!

This was okay my family liked it. But I thought it lacked flavor. It did make beautiful bread though and was easy to work with.

This turned out great for me! It was easy, looks beautiful, great texture, and tastes great. I will definitely make it again and may even make several loaves to give as gifts during the holidays. Would be a really nice gift with a jar of homeade jelly. YUM. Try it!

This was my first time baking homemade bread. It was surprisingly easy, not nearly as intimidating as I'd feared it would be. I used my kitchenaid mixer and followed the well written directions and it came out much better than I expected. The loaves look beautiful and professional even though I had no clue what I was doing, and though they looked small after braiding and letting rise, they grew considerably while baking. I will be making again.

I've made this bread a few times now, following the recipe for the most part, sometimes adding some honey, and it is delicious! Golden crust on the outside and moist on the inside. Always a treat for my guests! I will make this again and again. A beautiful and easy bread!

I made this in my bread machine and it was truly PERFECT. It makes a ton of dough, too. From 1 batch, I got 1 braided loaf, 3 LARGE dinner rolls (Shaped like bunnies, for easter dinner) and 9 big fat cinnamon rolls. I used the bread to make french toast for dinner and it was the best french toast I've had in my whole life. The cinnamon rolls with this bread were outstanding as well!!!

This turned out MUCH better than the other challah recipe I tried and was easy (just time consuming) to make. Next time, I'm going to double the sugar to make the bread sweet as suggested by Sy.
