BREAD MACHINE CHALLAH BREAD
Steps:
- Lightly grease or line with parchment paper one or two baking sheets. Add warm water, egg, vegetable oil, salt, flour, sugar, honey and yeast to bread machine pan in the order recommended by manufacturer. Select the Dough Cycle of your machine. Start the cycle. When dough cycle is complete, remove dough from machine to a lightly floured work surface. Punch dough down and let rest for 5 minutes. If necessary, knead in enough flour to make dough easy to handle. Making 1 loaf: If making one 1 1/2-pound loaf, divide dough into 3 equal size pieces and roll each piece into 20-inch long rope. Place ropes on prepared baking sheet. Braid by bringing left rope under center rope; lay it down. Bring right rope under new center rope; lay it down. Repeat braiding to the end of loaf. Pinch ends to seal and tuck under dough. Cover with plastic wrap and place a smooth cotton kitchen towel over plastic wrap and let loaf (s) rise in a warm, draft-free place until almost doubled in size, 45 to 50 minutes. Baking: Brush loaf (s) with the remaining egg wash. If desired, sprinkle loaf (s) with sesame or poppy seeds and bake at 375 degrees F/190 degrees C for 25 to 30 minutes or until done (bread is done if it registers 190 degrees F/87 degrees C with instant-read thermometer). Tip: Cover bread with aluminum foil after 10 to 15 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning (for even browning when baking two loaves, switch positions of sheets halfway through baking). Remove bread from baking sheet and cool completely on wire rack. Storage: Bread may be frozen once cooled completely (2 hours). Wrap in aluminum foil, then place bread in a ziploc bag. Label and date. Bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw for 1 hour at room temperature before serving.

[email protected]I'm allergic to eggs, so I substituted the eggs in this recipe with a flax egg. It worked perfectly! The bread turned out just as delicious as it would have with eggs.

[email protected]This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a few extra things to make it my own. I usually add a tablespoon of poppy seeds and a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough. It gives the bread a delicious flavor and aroma.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bread didn't turn out right. It was dense and gummy. I think I might have added too much flour.
