Lorri's holiday challah in the bread machine

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ teaspoon Yeast
2½ cup Bread flour
¼ cup Sugar
½ teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoons Melted butter
2 Yolks
⅔ cup Apple juice

Directions

Put the ingredients in your machine in your usual order, on the White Dough cycle. Try not to peek during the rise time.

Dump the dough onto a lightly floured board, divide into 3 sections, stretch to about 8-9" ropes, and braid. ( Other shapes such as big circles ringed together are also exquisite).In the meantime, heat oven to Warm.

When temperature is reached, TURN THE OVEN OFF. Put the challah braid onto a greased cookie sheet .Place in warmed oven for half an hour to rise.

Remove from oven and now preheat the oven to 350. Apply a glaze by brushing with a mixture of an egg yolk and a tablespoon of water. Sprinkle with sesame or other seeds, if you like. Bake at 350 for @ 30-40 minutes, until nicely browned.
