Hi there,

How many loaves of Challah does this make? It looks like such a great easy recipe! I've been looking for one like this for a long time. Thanks!

This will make two very large (whole cookie sheet) braids, or three large, or four medium-sized loaves.

I usually make two very large challot with this recipe, and two very large with a "regular" recipe. That way I use 5 lb. of flour and can make a bracha, and we can open one of each type (Yekkish and regular) for both dinner and lunch.

There are seven of us, and we have a lot of people on Shabbat.

There are so many challah recipes, I'd need a lifetime of Fridays to cook them all. I love that you added a picture of the loaves because it makes it even more appetizing.
