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.

[@daisyduke4640]

I'm going to attempt to make this bread for the 1st time. It's my favorite bread! We used to serve it at a waitress job I worked. It was baked in the restaurant. Soo Delicious!

[@alexistucker1273]

Fa bZZ so

[@fgfg633]

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!

[@V-zc5vf]

Mi permetto solo un suggerimento...utilizzare un coltello seghettato.o comunque più affilato, per non rischiare di rovinare le challòth!! Beteavòn😉

[@debb583]

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!

What kind of flour did you use? Bread flour or all purpose flour ? Thank you for the guidance 😁

[@livieart5640]

Hi I have watched several challa bread videos and yours was by far the easiest to follow. My bread came our really nice and my kids loved it!! Thank You xx

[@carolinaortiz4801]

hello! your recipe looks really simple to follow, I just have a doubt... do you use a whole beaten egg to brush the braid, or is it just the beaten egg yolk? Cheers from Mexico. ps: I hope you answer because I'm planning to make challah tomorrow!

[@TheCookingFoodie]

Carolina Ortiz thank you! I use whole beaten egg.

[@natyego]

You can add milk to the beaten egg and some olive oil, it gives an extra touch!

[@tarek9785]

I just made it today, it's amazing, better than store bought and 10 times cheaper, super delicious! Just one question, after baking how do you keep it moist?

[@neomigazit4639]

i live by this

[@oceanaelf]

This was the first video I found on how to make challah and I've never clicked on another video 🤷🏻‍♀️✨ (edit: it is so good I don't want another recipe)

[@chuckkerber4735]

Thanks!

[@alexandruciobanu8378]

It is hard to imagine where you started your KZbin journey. Your first video style is totally different from what movies are you creating now. Congrats my friend! I'm on my good path seeing you in the past, and seeing my first videos as well well, and hou much I developed my shooting and editing style. My public is much smaller than yours, that pretty much because I do this kind of recipes/video shooting movies only in my native language, and not because I couldn't handle English, but because there's only one Cooking Foodie style! Cheers from Romania!

[@PeakPotentialTherapyLLC]

Awesome recipe! Whole loaf disappeared in less than 10 mins - delicious!

[@noel888]

love the music that goes with delicious bread. It went so fast like the wonderful music i must have missed the length of time of kneading it.

[@ayn3862]

Made it today. Was simple and amazing. Thank you! Definitely going to be my go-to recipe.

[@leonardocouto4488]

It seems fun to do it as a family with children.

[@katherineward9086]

I fallowed your instructions and my flour turn out tough ,, so I did my own and added a half cup more of water and it soften my dough , and wasnt tough, nice and soft

[@razorbaxter]

Ok I followed yor recipe exactly Now I'm resting. Oh and the challah is too.

[@conservativechristianmusic8848]

The Church that I used to go to used Challah Bread during the presentation of The Living Last Supper play, which I was in for six years as Simon The Zealot.

[@Jonid5184]

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. No offense But learning to make bread Is it wheat flour? That is used to make bread?

[@Miz-B]

Made this today. Used warm milk instead of water. Turned out lovely. Thanks for the recipe.

[@taylormarinescu805]

you literally made cake... flour, sugar, milk, eggs.... lmao

[@yasiraouf]

Can I use regular active yeast? and if yes, how much longer should I let it rise?

[@pooyahamidi8308]

I cooked the challah bread for the first time today. I followed the instruction step by step, and the result was excellent. A super tasty and super delicious bread I have ever seen. I really appreciate your assistance with a comprehensive video clip.

hi is this plain flour or strong bread flour? probably me being daft thanks for the recipie :D looks really nice

[@kiankuiper8520]

Can you use olive oil instead of canola oil?

[@Anonymous-xr6cr]

Is it possible to make it without sugar?

[@ferdinandwang1165]

Nice! Want to ask, just what is that thing you're spraying at 1:07? Is it oil or...?

[@veronicacuello9890]

Is oil.

[@julietasilva9079]

Hello from Mexico! Thinking to make the Challah tomorrow for my parents and I wonder what’s the amount of protein of the flour you’re using in the video, when you test up the Challah is mind blowing how soft it looks inside. Please let me know my parents will bless you for this 😁

[@TheCookingFoodie]

Honestly I don't know. I just use regular wheat flour.

[@merabetdora9301]

Wow 😱 😱

[@deridaluke9357]

Thanks for the recipe. I haven’t made eggbread in ages. Now I’m thinking of baking bread

Lovely demonstration. Thank you!

[@normanlobo2538]

What kind of oven and which company did you purchase chef

[@thecatholicrabbi4170]

Was their yeast?

[@Katarochan76]

What a fantastic video and some awesome music as well. I’ve made this version of challah probably a hundred times since 2018 like every week and all my friends always ask for more. But try as I might I could never find this song if you could share it with us that would be amazing. Great work

[@nbntravel1540]

Super

[@Knightely]

Is it ok if I use normal oil ??

[@cumdinewitme]

Does anyone know how you’d eat this? I.e would you slice it and butter? Or tear it and dunk it matzo soup? Or even make sandwiches out of it? I’m planning on making it this weekend but would love some serving suggestions!

[@carmenmojica1382]

I like to use it to make French toast.

[@naaddodakyi]

Is this recipe sweet? Is it better with honey? What measurement would I use if I wanted to use it with honey? Can I add nutmeg? Please respond I’m about to make it!

[@rebekahchun793]

I tried it for the first time and it turned out so good- I did an 8 plait for one loaf and it was really big. Thanks for the recipe :)

[@pooyahamidi8308]

What a great coincidence! I cooked it today for the first time too. Super easy and super delicious. From Alberta, 🇨🇦
