Challah is a braided yeast bread that is generally made the day before the Jewish Sabbath. It is really good! I make it with honey instead of sugar. There are many recipes, however I use this one (in a bread machine).
2 pkg. yeast
1 3/4 c. water
2/3 c. oil
1 egg
1/2 c. sugar or honey
1/2 tsp. salt
3 c. flour (all-purpose)
Mix together above ingredients. Then add 3 cups additional
flour. Turn out on floured surface. Let rise for 1 hour or
until double in bulk. Punch it down.
For Kashrut only: Take "Challah", put in oven. Shape into 2
loaves or place in loaf pans. Let rise an hour. Brush with
egg and water. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour. Cool on
wire racks.
If you don't care about braiding the Challah, can you just leave it in the bread machine all the way through the baking?
Thank you for the recipe!
