To make a 6 braid challah take half the dough and form it into 6 balls. Roll each ball into a strand 12'' long. Place the 6 strands parallel to each other. Pinch the tops of the strand together. Move the outside right strand over 2 strand. Take the second strand from the left and move it to the far left. Start over with the outside right strand. Repeat. Tuck ends together. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Beat remaining eggs and brush on loaves, being careful not to let drip to pan (it sticks). Either freeze at this point or cover and let rise until doubled. Preheat oven to 375°. Brush loaves with egg again and sprinkle with seeds if using. Bake 30-40 min or until golden. Internal temp should be 190°. Cool on rack.
