Hi!
I've started making challah around a year ago. Moved around quite a bit, tried a couple of recipes.
I'm using spelt flour and I'm finding that My challah never has a pretty shape to it. I make it and it looks all pretty and then once I leave it for a second rise it goes a bit wonky.
Also every challah I try to make turns out different shape, long and skinny not fat and high (I do 4 strand so it should get height) they're all different sizes.
Also I find that when I roll out the dough it looks quite veiny not so smooth like in the recipes people show. I usually just put a bunch of crumb topping to cover up how it looks. For taste it's great! Soft and yummy and fluffy. Just need troubleshooting help for the looks of it!
If anyone can help and give tips I'd be appreciative !

I make spelt sugar free challah and it’s delicious
Maybe it’s the company flour you use or your recipe

Can you post your recipe and which brand flour you use?

I've tried many different recipes and ovens and flour. Feel like it's something in the spelt because wheat flour holds beautiful

You need to follow a specific spelt recipe. You can’t just substitute for other flours.
