Bread-Bakers v115.n007.1

Michael, I can't speak for the Publix challah since I haven't tried 
it.  But if you can't get that recipe, might I suggest Maggie 
Glezer's book, "A Blessing of Bread?"  She won the James Beard Award 
for that book. She has quite a selection of challahs in the book, 
from soft and billowy to firmer ones, richer to leaner loaves.  I've 
made them all and I think you might find the consistency you'd like 
in one of them, or even one you would prefer.
