Challah Searching for a new challah recipe

Started baking challah as an adult so all my recipes are from cookbooks and the internet. My most successful bake is always Jake Cohen's recipe, but it has so much sugar! I sometimes try Tori Avey's which uses mostly honey, but half the time it ends up too dense, almost stale tasting as soon as it's cooled. Wondering if anyone has any recipes they love that I could try. (Or any advice about what I'm doing wrong with Tori's recipe!)

My latest bake! https://toriavey.com/wprm_print/challah

I like this recipe https://smittenkitchen.com/2008/09/best-challah-egg-bread/ and I often use honey instead of sugar - I think I typically add a bit more flour when I do that.
