Thanks for an easy bread recipe.

Easy recipe. friendly instructions and very delicious. I followed the instructions. I put a little less water. After two hours to the fridge overnight. The dough was smooth, easy to work with and the challah is delicious . save it as a a weekend recipe.

I have made this a number of times. For this recipe I do not measure by weight. For me it didn’t seem to match the cup amounts, not sure why. It always tastes wonderful. But for some reason I can’t seem to figure out how to prevent the braid from pulling apart at the middle. Any tips or tricks to prevent that? Thank you!

This recipe is a keeper! My first braided loaf and it was gorgeous. I did as you suggested by making two loaves and sharing with a friend. Perfect in every way.

In reply to June Dickinson.

This is amazingly easy and despite my fears of failure , it came out remarkably fabulous. I made braided round challah to practice for the upcoming Rosh HaShanah celebration. These are so good, I will need to make at least 4. They look beautiful and the aroma is heavenly thank you Zoe for another great recipe and making me a baking success.

Challah bread was very easy to make.
Need to work on my braiding.
Much easier to handle when you
Chill the dough, very sticky.
Best bread I’ve ever made. Kirk

Just the right size for two people and another for friends. Then I looked more carefully at the ingredients because I always bake using weight measurements as I have done since I purchased three of your books. If I were to make this recipe that way, I would have about 2/3 c. more flour than the volume amount and twice as much yeast and salt. The bread would probably turn out too dense and certainly much too salty. Disappointing!!
