Ive made challah bread before and was disappointed with this one. I followed the recipe close and thought it wasn't eggy or sweet enough. I worked for Thanksgiving since it turned out to be a decent bread but definitely didn't wow anyone.

I have been on the hunt for a great Shabbat challah recipe for many years and this one is it! Beautiful flavor and texture. My family now forgoes the bakery bought challah on Friday nights. Thanks for the great recipe!

I make this all the time. A wonderful recipe, and very diverse dough. I have made it as cinnamon rolls, buns, and of course as challah bread. Wonderful recipe for novice bakers. Love it. Thank you so much for sharing.

The bread itself is amazing. I let sesame seeds soak with the glaze mixture to add flavor and that was tasty. The only problem is the bread doesn't taste like challah bread should.

THIS. WAS. AWESOME. I ended up making it twice--once for my household, and again for some friends of mine. I got two loaves out of it, no problem.

Fun to make, a good/ok bread but not the best tasting I've ever had. Drizzled vanilla frosting on top, made a good desert bread or breakfast.

I got 1 large 6 strand loaf out of the recipe. The loaf was approximately 8 inches wide and 16 inches long. It tasted delicious. Only issue is an aesthetic one: I would have liked more height out of the dough. I will make it again though.

This turned out perfect and I went onto youtube and looked up a video on how to do a 4 strand braid on challah and it turned out beautiful! I have been doing a 3 strand basic challah bread for several years now for Sabbath and was looking for something new and this was it! Love it!

This is a truly beautiful loaf of bread! It came out perfectly the first time. I didn't have quite enough honey, so subbed a few tablespoons of sugar. The egg wash glaze makes this shiyk and look store-bought. I have made many challah recipes, and this one is amazing!
