Decided to try making challah, only cut into it after a day bc I was busy making other food too and wanted to be able to appreciate it. Forgot the final rise, so I’ll be trying again soon. I used this recipe: https://houseofnasheats.com/best-challah-bread/#wprm-recipe-container-15040

It’s gorgeous!
It’s a wee dark on the outside for me. But the inside looks good! (This opinion was brought to you by an internet stranger)
The shape is so pretty!
Did you put in a flat sheet to bake?
Beautiful color and shaping. Love it.
Beats the hell out of my first challah! In case your recipe didn’t mention it, one of the best challah tips I ever found is to apply the egg wash in two steps, the second application coming about halfway thru the bake time. This discourages dry spots from appearing between the braids as they expand in the oven!
How did you braid it?
