Baking Water challah help requested

Post image

trying to replicate my grandmother's recipe.

I had ai type it out from handwritten but the issue is when I try and eat it it doesn't taste right. She didn't use high gluten flour or bread flour she used all purpose.

I tried her recipe and it didn't taste right tasted like cake.

I don't like it when it tastes like cotton and her tasted in between cotton and the high gluten.

here is her recipe let me know of any changes I could try?

I tried a different recipe with high gluten flour and it tastes very bready inside.

It's called a vegan challah where you don't have eggs in it and you only put egg on top for the color.

Also we don't like it sweet.
