I have made this challah 3 times now, it looks good, it taste great but it seems to dry faster than other recipes. I prepare the mix on Tuesday and follow the instructions and keep it refrigerated until Friday. It is great on Friday night, every person who tasted itloved it, but the following day it felt slightly dry am I doing something wrong? have read and re-read the recipe - is it the case that this is what happens with this recipe? Thanks your internet site is fantastic. I love it.
Hi- Challah is generally a bit drier than other breads, I find. But refrigerating bread robs it of moisture SUPER-quick; there's no better way to make bread go thoroughly stale, very quickly, than to store it in the fridge. Store at room temperature, tightly wrapped; if you're in a very humid environment, wrap tightly and freeze. But never put bread in the fridge, OK? Good luck - PJH.
