I quartered this recipe and it makes 2-3 loaves depending on size. My measurements were as follows.
Dry Yeast 1 1/4 Tbsp
1 SCANT cup of water
2 Eggs
2 3/4 cups of white flour
2 Cups whole wheat flour
1/8 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
3 Tbsp oil
3/4 Tbsp of Salt
Don't add all the white flour at once. Test the dough after adding it a little at a time. It might need slightly more or slightly less. The amounts listed are just too much for my stand mixer and I am too lazy to knead by hand. I also wanted to see the results. I may hand it next time.

Congratulations on being an EP! Your challah looks lovely and delicious. I bake challah every week and will definitely try this recipe.

Thank you! I am so honored. This is a family favorite (just made a batch last night) - it's great to be able to share.

Have you ever made a smaller batch of this? I cannot see any occasion in the near future for which I'd need six large loaves . . . . Thank you so much. ;o)

I can't speak for Rivki, and six loaves is definitely a lot, but should the inspiration strike I can tell you from my own experience challah dough freezes well. I follow the recipe up to the braiding then freeze. To bake, allow to sit out for at least a few hours or overnight to allow it to defrost and rise, then brush with the egg and bake as normal.

Kmartinelli is right - this freezes beautifully for at least 6 weeks. Or, you can make a couple of challahs and form the rest into individual rolls. But, you can easily make a half a recipe and I sometimes do. Simply divide all the ingredients in half and make just three large loaves, or four smaller ones. Enjoy!

I'm targetting Tuesday to make this for a pot luck I'm going to! I think it would be perfect! I'll send you a note if I've got any questions as I get into it. Excited!
