I have always admired the warm, chestnut color and extra shine on some people’s challahs. There are a few ways to achieve this almost varnished appearance, the simplest of which is to brush your challahs with egg TWICE. This sounds too simple, but it works! Beat one whole egg and give each challah a thorough painting. Then, when you’ve finished painting the last one, go around and start from the beginning, giving each loaf a second coating. (One egg should still be enough for a 5 lb recipe.) You will notice the difference.
