Followed this to a “T”. Needed at least 1.5 more cups of bread flour since the 4 in the recipe made a batter not a dough. Very sticky to handle and although first proofing tripled in size the end product was less than satisfactory. Still hunting for the perfect vegan, eggless challah. Won’t be using this recipe again.
Thanks for the comment, appreciate the feedback. I recommend trying this vegan challah of ours https://jamiegeller.com/recipes/vegan-challah/
Really delicious. They also froze well. My dough was way too sticky so I ended up using more nearly a cup more of flour to make the dough (possibly because I used it in my bread maker), and it was delicious. I would recommend water instead of maple syrup to gloss it. It becomes too sticky. Will make again.
My dough is very sticky and difficult to work with. Did anyone else experience this?
my dough is very sticky too and no one has an answer for this….
I would like to use honey instead of agave nectar. Would it be an even exchange, i.e. the same amount of honey as agave nectar? And then should the amounts of any of the other ingredients be altered? Thank you.
No, it’s correct. Thanks – enjoy!
Is the “3 tbs” a typo? I.e. should be 3 tsp?
