Baking How long and what temperature should these be baked on? I did 350 F for about 30 minutes. Haven't tried yet, waiting until shabbos, but looks good!

I bake mine on 400 for fifteen minutes and then lower to 350 till done. I hit the challahs to hear if they are hollow.

My favorite! Best whole wheat recipe I've made so far! We love it with sweet crumbs or everything spice on top.
