Healthy Whole Wheat Challah

This is a beautiful challah, made with half whole wheat flour, that’s very light and airy and just a little bit sweet.

The dough is enriched with eggs, oil and honey and is very easy to shape “ it’s soft but not sticky. The recipe directions are quite clear up until the shaping of the dough “ though I chose to bake in 2 loaf pans, the directions are actually to form a long rope of dough and coil it around itself in a baking pan. The pan size is not specified nor is pan preparation mentioned…should it be oiled? Oiled and floured? The directions are then to put this pan on a greased (why?) cookie sheet. I made a half recipe that yielded 2 “ 500g loaves that baked (in oiled pans) in 30 min.

A very tasty same-day bread that’s delicious on its own but one I can see myself using in recipes that call for egg bread, brioche or challah.
