Does this call for 15 cups of flour? Or is there a misprint?
this recipe doesnt make sense, why is the flour written twice?
the picture of the braided challah is WOW. is this a bakery challah picture or did someone private braid this. can someone give a tutorial? thanks
fayee
What is cut with bracha??? Is this right 10 cups of flour?? This is not as well written as most of your recipes….would love a reply
Sorry for the confusion, the recipe is done in two parts, first 5 cups of flour and then another 10 cups are added later. I added a link for more info on making the bracha also. I hope it is written more clearly now.
looks like it could be a really yummy challah but the recipe is so confusing.
Sorry for the confusion, the way the recipe is done in two parts made it hard to explain in the format we have online, but I believe I fixed it now to make it easier, please give it a try and let us know.
Thanks Tamar I found this recipe amazing and ez to follow {if you put your head in the recipe though, w/o distractions!} thanks!
