I made this bread yesterday for dinner with my parents and it was AMAZING! The loaf looked absolutely beautiful with the four stranded braid, baked (yes, I took pictures). Everytime I looked at my homemade bread loving father he had his hand in the bread basket. And my mother said, " This tastes like an egg bread, just like at those Jewish bakeries we always went to when I was a kid." I said, "Yeah Mom, it's challah, a Jewish staple!" Funny and a great compliment. My maternal grandfather's family was Jewish and it is fun to be able to keep that heritage alive! Thanks for the wonderful recipes and tutorials.
