here's another question - how many cups in 5 lbs of flour?

I think about 16-17; depends if it's sifted or not (not pre-sifted; sifted after you buy it). I usually got 3 5-cup recipes from a 5 lb bag and had some left over. but why don't you measure as you take it out of the bag?

350. Best recipe you'll ever use. It is delicious as is, and is amenable to adjustments (e.g., a little more or less sugar, an extra egg or a bit more oil for a richer challah). In actuality, it is her technique that makes the final product so wonderful (make a batter out of the water, sugar, yeast, eggs, oil, salt and 6 cups of the sifted flour. Beat in the mixer until smooth. Then add the rest of the flour). Three cheers for the Challah Maven (and if you ever have the opportunity to take one of her classes/demonstrations do so by all means-even if you never bake challah, or have been baking it for 30 years)!

Me too, me too. I have a big 10Kg bag from Canada and I don't have a kitchen scale to weigh it on.

I found that baking my challah at 375 for a shorter amount of time worked better than 350. It was slightly raw when I took it out. And when I rewarmed right before shabbos. it tasted heavenly and fresh out of the oven!

Here! Here! Mine always comes out perfect, and I'm not a great baker by nature. In fact, I don't have a mixer, so I do it by hand -- still comes out perfect.

I don't have a set amount of time.
I just bake until the top looks golden. But usually the bottom is kind of raw.

I put them in @ 450 for 10 minutes without preheating the oven, and then I put it on 350

I bake my challas at 375. When I think its done, I turn one over and tap the bottom. If it has a hollow sound, thats how I know its done.
