I started making challah a few weeks ago. The recipe I found is that people were raving about:
3 cups water
8 tsp yeast
1 1/3 cup sugar
1 1/3 cup oil
8 eggs (yes, 8)
6 tsp salt
5 lb regular flour
Rise 1 hour, knead again, rise another hour. bake 45 min for large challahs.
I find it dry and crumbly. Am I baking too long/wrong ingredients?

If you're new to Challah baking, use this recipe. You'll get perfect Challah and you'll learn the ins and outs of Challah dough so eventually you'll be able to work with any recipe.
