Challah is a great bread. However, I think this recipe has some mistypes. 1/2 cup of sugar is just a bit too much, the bread wont rise properly with this much sugar...it didn't rise at all until I put it in the oven to cook.
Make sure the water is warm (105 to 115 degrees F)
You could also try using 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
Instead of 1/3 cup oil use 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Try using 1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup sugar instead of 1/2 cup.
I have tried three different challah recipes and the one that turned out the best was using these amounts.
I didnt seperate it into 4 challahs either, I just made one large challah.
