Ingredients

1 1/2 cups water
1 egg
1 egg white
2 tablespoons olive oil (this is equivalent to 1/6 cup)
3 tablespoons honey (measure using the same spoon as the olive oil so it doesn't stick!)

1/8 teaspoon salt
1 additional egg (optional)
sesame seeds (optional)

Make a well on top of the flour mound and add the yeast.
Add salt along the side of the flour mound.
Set your bread maker to run a "dough" cycle.
Remove dough and braid challah (this is the fun part! See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0kf0MFRpXg for instructions.).
(Optional) For a professional look, coat the braided challah with egg using a basting brush, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Yield 3 Loaves

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

The best - never fails and always brings compliments:
1 cup warm water
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. canola oil
1/4 - 1/2 c. honey or silan
4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
2 1/2 tsp. instant yeast

Steps:

Place in bread machine in this order. Set on dough setting. Place dough on floured surface. Braid. Makes 4 mini loaves or 3 medium loaves or 2 large loaves. I braid in 4 strand. Egg wash and add seeds (poppy, sesame, sunflower, chia - whatever you like or any combination). Egg wash again. Bake at 350 (180) for about half hour. I have a convection oven and bake for 22 minutes. Should be rich brown in color and when tapped sounds hollow.

Tips:

Use warm water (110-115°F) to activate the yeast and help the dough rise properly.
Add the ingredients to the bread machine in the order specified in the recipe.
Make sure the yeast is fresh and active. Old or inactive yeast will not produce enough gas to raise the dough properly.
If you are using a bread machine for the first time, consult the manufacturer's instructions before using.
Use high-quality bread flour for a better texture and flavor.
If you do not have a bread machine, you can make challah by hand. Just follow the recipe instructions and knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Challah can be frozen for up to 3 months. When you are ready to serve, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for several hours.

Whether you are making it for a special occasion or just for a casual meal, this recipe will help you create a perfect challah.
