Hi Sharon, you might want to consider trying a different recipe if this one is causing so many issues. It does sound like an excessive amount of honey, which has got to make for a good deal of stickiness, no matter what methods you use. This challah recipe gets great reviews. If you'd prefer using honey instead of the sugar called for in this recipe, try substituting 1/4 cup of honey for the 1/3 cup of sugar. If you'd like to continue troubleshooting your current recipe, it may be more helpful for you to give our Baker's Hotline a call (855-371-2253), so that we can have a conversation about exactly what's going on. We're here M-F from 8am-9pm EST, and Saturday and Sunday from 8am-5pm EST.
