We love homemade Challah. Well, really any homemade bread is delish. We especially love this one because the dough is done in a bread machine so all you have to do is braid and cook.
Just out of the oven. Can't you smell it?
Dough right out of the bread machine, waiting to rise.
This makes enough for 2 loaves but I broke one
in half to have 3. Two small loaves above and
one big one below.
Basted with egg and poppyseed. All ready to bake.
Fresh Challah out of the oven.
This recipe is adapted from Kosher by Design.
Here is the recipe:
4 1/4 cups bread flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
5 large egg yolks
3 teaspoons of Kosher salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 large egg, beaten
poppyseeds
1. Place dry mix then wet mix in bread machine.
2. Process on dough cycle
3. Remove dough from machine onto floured surface.
4. Preheat oven to 350.
5. Divide dough in half, then in three pieces.
6. Roll each section and then braid. Repeat with other three pieces.
7. Place on parchment-lined or silpat lined baking sheet.
8. Cover with cloth and let rise for 30 minutes.
9. Brush challah with beaten egg and sprinkle with poppyseeds.
10. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
If you only need one loaf, wrap 2nd loaf in foil and freeze.
