Hi Sharon, the large amount of honey in your challah recipe won't kill the yeast, but it will definitely slow it down. You might want to consider trying the SAF Gold Instant Yeast, which is particularly formulated for the challenging environment presented by sweet doughs. I hope your most recent attempt met with success! Shanah tova to you and yours!
