Instructions: This is a recipe for a sweet, soft challah which is easy enough for my pre-school Sunday School kids to make. My 4 kids(26,23,22 and 16)love to eat it warm from the oven. Have been lurking since Pesach and appreciate the recipes, comments etc. Hope this gets sent the way I type it(not sure
