36% Whole Wheat Challah
I used a breadmaker to mix one third of the recipe using 4 oz whole wheat of 11.2 total ounces of flour. After mixing, the dough appeared a little dry compared to the pictures, but moistend up quite nicely over the next half day or so. Didn't need much flour to roll it out, which was a relief because I didn't want to dry it up too much.
My cake pans were too shallow, so I used an 8" cast iron skillet that was almost 2" high. Ended up with a quite nice loaf. Would have been perfect if I had distributed the mass of the braid a little more evenly around the pan. It is quite delicious. Picture link below:
