Very good flavor and texture, mine turned out a little dark but that may just be my machine. Also, you do not get the nice crust of challah in a bread machine, but who cares when you can get challah w so little work?

This reminds me of my mom's homemade from when I was young. Simple. Easy. Tasty. I make this weekly.

Wow! This bread tastes better than the challah they sell at the local grocery store and bakery. It's really delicious! I followed the recipe. It worked.

Excellent challah recipe! I need to add an extra 1/4 cup of flour to make the dough workable and not so sticky, since I use this recipe as a base dough for Filipino sweet bread (pan de ube, pan de coco, pan de nutella, etc.) and it works like a charm. Even better than the Asian bakeries, actually! The only problem is, the family loves them so much, they're gone the first night and I have to make another batch.

I've been baking this bread for a few years now. People just keep asking me to make it for different occasions. It is wonderful and the dough has a very nice stretch to it. You do not have to change anything at all.

Best bread I've ever made in my machine, and I've owned and used my breadmaker for about 10 years. I made it this morning for Thanksgiving, and the whole loaf was gone halfway thru the meal. Make sure to check the dough after the first mix, and be prepared to sprinkle in a few tablespoons of flour if it looks too wet. Also don't be afraid to restart the cycle after you do that. I actually accidentally used 3 T oil instead of the margarine the first time, and it came out so good I just did that the second time too. Also made one loaf with regular flour, and the second loaf with bread flour ... bread flour texture was a little better. Definitely a keeper ... I just need to translate this to a 2 lb loaf size.

Delicious, but a warning: I added an extra egg after reading some reviews that said it was a little dry... unfortunately, the batter overflowed and ended up all over the inside of my bread machine! I think it might be a little much for a 1.5 pound machine. I'll cut the recipe next time. Even so, it was really delicious.

I was somewhat skeptical but the bread turned out great! I used 1 egg plus 2 yolks instead of the 2 eggs. Texture and taste were excellent. I may have left the crust on Med and not light because it turned out quite light in color. THX!
