Making this bread as a center piece for a brunch birthday party on Saturday. I,m sure it will have a big WOW.

I have not made this bread for years but remembered that it had appeared in the N.Y. Times. Went to my computer and there it was. Making this this for a brunch on Saturday. It will be the center piece on the table.

Beautiful braid – you should try the 6 stranded, it really is very easy to do, and comes out so beautiful. I was a bit intimidated at first, but now make it every week for friday night. I have even made enormous challah now for special occasions – hard to visualize at first, but so gratifying when they come out.

Thanks everyone! Feeling kind of ambitious…. I think I’ll work my way from 2-braid all the way to 6 braid. Eventually.

You should be pleased with yourself! I lived in NY for years Challah was so very available–especially every Friday night. It’s hard to find here in Colorado which makes me sad because challah french toast is the best! You’ve inspired me to make some myself.

Braided loaves intimidate you?! I don’t believe it, Jude. This is really beautiful. Particularly impressive is the smaller braid on top, looking like it belongs there. The colour is really wonderful too. Wow.

Never seen a doubledecker challah before. And though I’m tempted to repeat myself saying “that’s good”, I’m not going to. But your bread is.
