Corrine, thanks for the sweet compliment. I have a phenomenal challeh recipe on this site which you can access HERE. It's my grandmother's recipe for challah, and it sounds a lot like what you're looking for. Check it out and let me know what you think!

I love your posts. i just found you because I was looking for a cookie recipe for Levain’s. I am a chef but haven’t enjoyed baking until recently. I think it has something to do with following directions… Anyhow. There is a bakery near me in Oakland, CA that makes THE BEST CHALLAH IN THE WORLD!! The baker is not the nicest man, a bit of a “Challah Nazi”– he will NOT share his recipe with anyone, but he makes the freshest, sweetest, softest and chewiest challah. It is Grand Bakery on Grand Ave. Any idea how he gets the crust so chewy while the rest is so soft? He also has the perfect balance between sugar and salt. Do you think you can try to replicate? I’d be happy to send you a loaf!
