I think it's called Breslov's no-fail challah recipe - old thread on this site. It is made for regular flour but I've used whole wheat and it came out fine. Start with a little less flour (I think at one step it calls for 3 1/2-4 cups so you'll want to start with 3 1/2 to make sure you don't go too dry) and I also replaced sugar with honey. It came out REALLY good. I've done it with straight whole wheat, half and half, and white whole wheat. All were good but straight whole wheat definitely had more of a whole-wheat-y taste, coarser, and more dense. So I'd recommend white whole wheat flour which is really the same whole grain but ground finer and I think from a different strain of wheat.

My no fail recipe
(as long as the yeast proofs really well)
1. In a small bowl, dissolve in ½ C warm water
3 T rapid rise yeast
2 ½ T sugar
Set aside until it doubles. (10 min)
2. In a large bowl, combine the following:
3 egg whites [save yolks for egg wash]
½ C (less) canola oil
¾ C Splenda/Sugar or 1/2 c Agave nectar
4 C flour [I usually use a 3:1 ratio of whole wheat to white or you can use 2:2]
1 C lukewarm water
3. Add yeast mixture. Mix gently.
4. Add
4 C flour (mixture of WW and white, whatever ratio you like)
1 C (little less) lukewarm water
5. Knead. Add more flour if necessary. Let rise 1.5 hrs. Punch down. (If you have time, let it rise again and punch down again)
6. Take challah without a bracha.
7. Shape or braid. Brush with egg wash [egg mixed with a bit of water] sprinkled with cinnamon. Bake at 375 for 40 min. (Check after 20 min - ovens may vary)
You can double the recipe in each step and then take challah with a bracha.

I use "white whole wheat flour" in place of white flour in my regular challah recipe and it comes out fine.

Is this sweet and moist? Can I substitute the sugar with honey?
