Buy "quality flour" (orange bag high gluten) and follow the recipe from the bag.

I use Glicks or Kemach high gluten flour and get fabulous results. On occasion, I have even used all purpose flour to make challah and couldn't tell the difference.

A good yeast and a good environment for rising is really important. In my very small kitchen I find that the table is better than the counter for rising, 2 ft away from each other.

Keep the salt and yeast away from each other until you start to mix.
I proof yeast in small bowl, add salt to mixer with 5 pounds flour on top. Add rest ingredients and then proofed yeast.

Fresh yeast works way better than dry. When I have used dry on occasion it definitely wasn't as good.
I don't measure the flour....it depends on the humidity if I need more or less. I feel the dough and that's how I know how much I need.
