Easy Challah (egg bread)
I never had challah, but the bread was so beautiful that I decided making it. It is the easiest bread to make! As a beginner do not try a six strand braiding like i did, do the three strands braiding as it was easier. My kids love it so much. The left overs are best for french toast!
