This was soooo yummy! A little denser than what I would prefer, and much better hot than cold, but overall an amazing slice of bread. It was sweet and delicious. I love it the day after thanksgiving for turkey sandwich with some cranberry sauce. I was very pleased with the outcome!

The Amount of Flour required is different each Time due to the Weather.I do not recommend All wheat flour.Prehaps half wheat is a happy compromise.The Rising is longer for All wheat.Eggs may help being closer to room temperature by placing in warm water directly before using.Especially with a long rise Time.The Challah Crown is lovely.Know Your oven.If bakes fast,turn down by 25 degrees.Just watch it.

We made this last night--my daughter, my husband and myself. We had a great time doing it, and it was fun. Our daughter wanted to find make Challah bread, and this was just perfect. The two crowns (Princess Leia hair were wonderful. We cooked them for about 18 minutes, as people had suggested about 22 and our oven seems to run hot. They were perfect.

First and foremost, I used a bread machine to knead the dough.

When doing so, I used 2 whole eggs in the batter, but please remember to add the flour that was (in the original recipe reserved for kneading (3/4 cup. The last egg is used to brush on top of the bread before baking. I pulled the dough from the bread maker, floured the counter and hands as the dough is very sticky. Keep the flour close at hand as you'll need it.

This bread had quite a unique texture and flavor, and the poppy seeds although optional, are a perfect compliment to the crust. Not sure who said this was hard, I found it very very easy, and pretty. I will try it with wheat the next time 'round.

I used wheat flour to make this bread and it turned out fantastic! It was light and delicious and healthy! I did have some problems getting it to rise and had to proof some more yeast and knead it in, but I think that was because I used old yeast. I'm going to try again and see how it works.

I used my bread machine to mix and a bowl to rise. Made a note on printed out recipe that ONE whole egg is to be put aside for the wash. Only one whole egg goes in with the three egg yolks. Recipe should read one whole egg plus one for the wash. Silly mistake made by me but everything still turned out great :

The liquid to flour ratio is off. You need at least an extra cup of flour to make this work. Also, I placed the bread on the middle rack as directed and it burned on the bottom half way through the cooking time.

I don't have a lot of time to make bread, so I used my bread machine to mix and knead the dough. Then I formed the bread into crowns and let it rise again. The bread came out great. BUT I didn't need the full baking time. Only about 22 minutes. Kids and husband loved it.
