This was by far, the best loaf of Challah I have ever baked. By following the instructions to tent, the outside was perfectly browned, while the inside was amazingly chewy, the way I expect Challah to be. I have been baking Challah for years, and have never achieved that perfection! I have always tried "tweaking"... was I over-kneading, under-kneading, too much liquid, too much flour, etc. I compared this recipe to the one I had been using. It was different, so I decided to give it a go. So glad I did. We devoured the loaf! And as for the braiding... I had already mastered the four-strand braid, and by following the video, was able to produce a lovely six-strand braid. I have replaced the old Challah recipe with this one... quite possibly the best loaf of any kind I have ever made!
