Hi John from the UK 🇬🇧. I've made this recipe 3 times now for my Jewish boyfriend and it's turned out perfect every time. So easy. Thank you so much. Shalom. X

Classic Ashkenazi challah recipe! Great job on the braiding 😊. If you want to add raisins or cranberries to your challah, roll out each section flat first, place your additions in the center, and then roll it into a strand. Braid as usual, or do a four-strand round one. Also, you can swap sugar with honey, it will taste even richer.

When my daughter was wee, she loved Challah! When she turned 14 and became vegan, I asked her what food she would miss the most. Without hesitation it was Challah, and once she decided she could live without her favourite bread she never looked back. Thanks John, I will make some when she's not around; I love it too!

I never made Challah bread. I can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you for doing such a good job at explaining the process.❤️

Best french toast EVER is made with challah bread!!!

[amitsiovitz]

We always made it with a bit of honey and sometimes put in some raisins. It's a great bread for the Shabbat (starts on Friday evening) and then French toast on Saturday morning!

John,
Thank you so much for this recipe. I have made probably 15+ of your recipes over the last year and they have given me so much confidence as a home baker. Thank you for helping me make amazing treats and breads.

This looks amazing! I taught myself to make challah from a recipe in the newspaper. I've long since lost the recipe. It had a pinch of saffron which gave the bread a beautiful color.

[darlingsailor]

I made many challah over the years. I tried your recipes and it turned fantastic👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for a really great straight-to-the-point, easy-to-follow informative and enjoyable tutorial. My husband would be so happy if I learned to do this. Bread and I have had a rocky relationship and the idea of braiding dough nearly sends me into a panic attack but you’ve given me the confidence to try it. I’ll let you know how it goes.

[Arkanthrall]

This recipe has a great success and it's fun to make it with kids.

Very nice recipie John! They looks amazing! I think is the same recipie with the Greek "Tsoureki" wen they make them the Easter! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week! 👍👏🍴

[priscellal]

I make this recipe for every Sabbath except the week of unleavened bread. It is so easy but good. I actually learned how to braid the dough by using a wonderful YouTube video by a granny lady who made it so easy. I use her braiding method which is much easier. With his method, I forget what step in on. 🤷🤦😂🤣 You get exactly the same results with her method.

[debbiemac]

Love your bread and scone recipes, your stories and easy to follow instructions and never fail to reproduce what you show in the video. I have shared your chicken recipe with my adult son and he loves it too and made a delicious roasted chicken.
