2 eggs, plus additional for egg wash
1/2 cup of sugar
3 teaspoons salt

Braid into three medium challahs or two large.

My favorite bread machine challah recipe! I made this many times and it always came out delicious. I’ve made it with whole wheat flour too, no changes to the recipe, and it was good that way too.
