Challah is a soft, fluffy braided bread enriched with with eggs and olive oil. It has a soft, moist texture that is just slightly sweet, owing to the sugar in the recipe. Its deep, golden braids and burgeoning white interior really catch the eye on the table. I chose to do a 3 strand challah (which I struggled enough with) but you could do 4, 5, 6 - I've even heard of
12 strands- depending on your proficiency.
