Yum! I love Challah and just recently attempted a loaf a few weeks ago. I got my recipe from the William Sonoma's Essentials of Baking cookbook, and had huge troubles trying to figure out the correct way to braid the four-strand loaf. In the end I just twisted them randomly around each other and it worked out fine, but your step-by-step pictures just taught me so much! Thanks so much for sharing them, and come and stop by my (brand new) blog when you get the chance!
