I have been making challah for about a year and a half. And I started by stacking 2 braids on top of one another. But more often than not, the top braid would begin to topple over while it was rising. So, while researching, I found your instructions. I started by tying 3 shoe laces together to make 6 strands and started practicing. This morning I braided my first 6 strand challah. I proofed my dough in the refridge overnight. So I didn't need to worry about the dough rising too quickly while braiding it. It took about 10-15 minutes per loaf this time to braid them. But they came out so pretty!! Yay! Thank you for your instructions. It took practice and concentration but it was well worth it. Thank you again!
