Literally the best bread I’ve ever had! I’ve tried other bread recipes, and they always either have to many ingredients, taste disgusting, or become very dense. I’ve made this recipe 3 times, and I’m about to make it again. It becomes a beautiful golden brown, and the inside is AMAZING! I can not stress enough that you absolutely need to make this recipe! 😃

Edit: I forgot to say that I thought the braiding part would be hard, but it’s pretty easy.

Thank you for cutting and tearing open the bread at the end! 🙌 Watched three other Challah recipes that didn't show the inside/texture of bread at the end of the video 🤦 It looks so soft and delicious!

Thank you! Made this on Easter morning and it turned out fantastic! I love the 'to the point' instructions.I only made three ropes out of the dough, braided it and made it into a circle so I could put the colored eggs in the center for presentation. delicioso!

This is a beautiful challah! Look at the colour just delicious. I am gonna make it once I get my mixer delivered. . I don't cut my challah I tear it from the "knob" so that I can crunch the outside. Beautiful bread, thank you for the nice video. Thumbs up!

I’ve made this recipe probably 5 times now and it’s the best!! Thank you for the clear instructions in the video and the description! I’m making some to share with my non-jewish friends in Germany ☺️

I don’t know why, but I had to add a lot of flour. I probably used 4 cups, but it turned out so crazy good. This is the best bread I’ve ever made. I’m in very high altitude and I’m wondering if that’s why I needed more flour. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe. ❤
