Challah in a Hurry image

Made with quick-rise yeast, this is a sweeter, richer challah that lends itself especially well to Rosh Hashanah or other holiday uses. It is quicker and easier than a standard double-rise recipe, so it's great for those afternoons when you're in a challah of a hurry. Challah was meant to be torn and not sliced. B'tayevon!

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 cup margarine, melted
¾ cup white sugar
3 egg, beaten
4 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
7 ½ cups bread flour
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, blend together warm water, melted margarine, sugar, and 3 beaten eggs
  • In a large bowl, mix together yeast, salt, and 7 cups of the flour. Gradually stir in liquid ingredients, and mix until dough holds together.
  • Knead dough on a floured surface with remaining flour until smooth.
  • Split the dough into 2 large pieces. Split the 2 large pieces into 3 pieces each. Roll each third into a rope 3/4 inch thick and braid 3 strands together. Repeat. Place shaped dough onto greased cookie sheets. Brush dough with remaining beaten egg. Add poppy or sesame seeds, if desired. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.
  • Bake in a preheated 325 degree F(165 degrees C) oven for 20 to 30 minutes.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a very experienced baker. But I'm so glad I did! The challah was absolutely delicious and it was so easy to make. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've been making challah for years, and this recipe is by far the best I've tried. The dough was easy to work with, and the bread turned out beautifully golden and fluffy. I'll definitely be using this recipe again and again.
