TOTALLY worth the few hours' waiting time, thank you so much for posting it. We've eaten 2/3 of the loaf and I only made it 2 days ago!

As it turns out, this recipe was so easy to follow! I thought I would struggle through braiding the bread, but the instructions were so clear, I had no problems at all! I was glad I made this ahead of time because my boyfriend and I were able to enjoy the bread all to ourselves! I highly enjoyed using it for french toast! Now, I am going to try the chocolate babka recipe and bring that as well! Thank you so much for this fabulous website. I have recently found my desire to cook and, while looking through all the recipes, you provide me with new ideas to try and easy instructions to follow!

I kinda wish everyone would read your recipes through before posting questions, though. I had great luck with you tube videos for braiding demos. Thanks again, I look forward to reading your blog every day! Thank you for all of the amazing inspiration, and confidence to try this gorgeous bread.

This is the fourth time I have made challah bread. The previous three attempts were quite palatable, but your recipe with the wonderful personal asides and chit-chat made my day. The finished loaves were beautiful and delicious! I made them for the Sabbath and can't wait to bring them to the table after worship tomorrow. It feels good to show love for my family by presenting them with truly great tasting and beautiful looking meals. Thank you and Shabbat Shalom! Yee-haw!

That said, if you're adding flour and the dough has had "enough" there's no reason to add the remaining volume. But this amount should work with bread or AP flour.

I'm halving the recipe, but I would be forcing it to add more than 3.5 cups(scoop and level). No big deal, but just wondering if you had some thoughts. Thanks Deb!
