Challah-bread machine

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Warm Water
2¼ teaspoon Yeast (not rapid rise - but the regular jar kind)
½ cup (scant) Sugar
½ cup (scant) vegetable oil
2 teaspoons Salt (up to 3)
1 Whole egg plus
1 Egg yolk
4 cups Flour

Directions

Put into bread machine in the order listed.

Set the machine on Sweet Dough. After the machine is done, let it the dough rise again in the machine. I then punch it down, take it out, and put it into an oiled bowl and cover it. I let it sit for about an hour (If I have time, If I don't then I skip this rise) I then, punch it down, and make my braids. (I do a four braid). This will make 2 med loafs or one large loaf.

Put the Challah (or challot) on greased cookie sheet(s), cover and let rise for an hour. Before baking, brush with a beaten egg mixed with a bit of water, sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. Bake at 325 for 30-45 minutes, until golden brown.
