Ingredients for Challah 2 Recipe

1 c Water; less 3 T,
–approx 100F
1 tb Sugar
1 tb Yeast
1/4 tb Salt; (optional)
1-1/2 tb Oil; (veggie)
1 Egg; OR
— 1 T liquid lecithin
1/4 c Honey
4 c Flour; (4 to 6)

Challah 2 Preparation

one large loaf or two small Mix warm water with sugar and yeast. Let sit 5-10 minutes or until foamy. Add salt, oil, egg, and honey, then beat. Add (one cup at a time) flour, when pliable (usually about 3- 3.5 cups of flour added), turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead, while adding more flour (as necessary). Knead no less than 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl, and set in warm place until double in bulk (usually 30-45 minutes). Punch down dough, and return, covered to warm place until double in bulk. Punch down, and divide into three or four pieces (I think its prettier with four), and roll the pieces into long snakes. Braid the snakes and cover and place in warm place until double in bulk (once again 30-45 minutes). Place in pre-warmed oven – 325F / 165C, and bake 25-30 minutes or until bottom sounds hallow. This is the challah recipe I use every week, and I have never tasted one I prefer. It usually takes me around three hours from start to finish to make, and is worth every minute of it. >Ariella in Haifa <davidb@tx.technion.ac.il> From: Bread-Bakers Archives: ftp.best.com/pub/reggie/archives/bread/recipe
