Would someone do me a huge favor and post the challah recipe from the kosher palette cookbook? (Im not sure if there is more than one, if so, let me know, and I can try to narrow it down).
TIA

There's one with dry yeast and one with fresh yeast. Let me know which one I can try to get it for you soon.

4 C warm water (105-115 degrees)
4 oz fresh yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
1 5 lb bag high gluten flour
2 C sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp salt
3 large eggs
1 1/2 C canola or corn oil
1 large egg, lightly beaten.
Preheat oven to 300.open oven door.
Combine water & yeast in a med metal or glass bowl. Stir in 1 Tbsp sugar. Place mixture on open oven door & let stand 10 min. The mixture will be bubbly. If your yeast mixture isn't bubbly, then s/t is wrong with it & you must start again. Turn oven off.
Place flour in a large aluminum bowl; remove 2 C of flour & set aside for other uses. Stir in 2 c sugar & salt, mixing well. Push the flour against the sides of the bowl leaving a well in the center.
Pour the yeast mixture, 3 eggs, & oil into the well. Mix with a wooden spoon until you can no longer stir it. Knead the dough with your hands until it no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. The dough should be smooth & springy. If the dough is still very sticky, knead in a small amount of flour until it is smooth.
Brush the top of thre dough with oil. Cover with plastic wrap & a dry towel. Let rise for 1 1/2 hours in a warm room. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface & punch down. Divide the dough into 5 to 7 sections. Divide each section into 3 equal pieces & make a braid. You can wrap in plastic wrap & foil & freeze at this point or continue with the recipe.
Brush challos with beaten egg. Let rise uncovered for 45 min to an hour. Preheat oven to 350. Bake for 25 to 35 min until golden brown & challah sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. After 15 to 20 min reverse the direction of the baking sheet. Cool on wire rack.

according to the yeast pkg 4 oz fresh=1 1/3 dry.
I weighed it out to about 10 tsp.

Is it a big deal if I don't use high gluten flour? What would happen or not happen?

It should still be fine.
there is something called 'vital wheat gluten' that u can use with regular flour, but not using it is okay too.

I made it and it was delicious!! Thank you shanie5 for posting the other thread and dini20 for posting it. This is the first time I made challa and it wasn't heavy. I halved the recipe and it fit in my kitchen aid perfectly.

We get the flour in 1 kilo bag, so I used one bag, took out 1 cup and then added as needed.

Question - Will this recipe work with dry yeast? How many packs of dry yeast for the 4oz of fresh?
Thanks!
