BREAD MACHINE CHALLAH



Bread Machine Challah image

Talk about a crowd-pleaser! This beautiful braided bread makes a statement. The challah bread recipe makes lovely bread that is slightly sweet and nicely tender.

Provided by Marsha Perry

Categories     Bread Machine Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cups water
3 eggs (beaten, use large eggs)
¼ cup canola oil
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 ½ cups bread flour
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 egg yolk
1 Tablespoon water
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • This recipe is for a two-pound machine. Use the dough setting.
  • Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first. (I use a Zojirushi bread machine and with that, I add the liquids first.) Use the dough setting.
  • Check the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. You'll want the dough to form a smooth, round ball. However, if it's a little wet, don't worry about it.
  • If the dough is too dry add liquid a teaspoon at a time until the dough balls up. If really too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time until it looks as expected.
  • When the dough is done put it on a lightly floured board.
  • Note that the dough will be very sticky. I used a bench scraper to help me work with the dough. It helped me a lot!
  • Divide the dough into three equal sections. Make each section into a ball and put it onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Cover the dough with a clean, lightweight kitchen towel. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
  • After the dough has rested, roll each ball into a rope.
  • My dough ropes were about 16 inches long. The next time I make challah bread, I'm going to make them longer.
  • Take the dough rope on the right and pass it over the center rope That dough rope is the new center rope. Then take the rope on the left and pass it over the center rope. It's now the center rope. Repeat until you get to the end of the dough ropes.
  • Tuck the ends underneath. Move the braided bread to a cookie sheet that's been greased or covered with parchment paper.
  • Cover the bread with a clean, lightweight kitchen towel and let the bread rise for an hour
  • Remove the towel. Brush the bread with the egg wash.
  • Bake the bread in a 350-degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes. If the bread starts to get too brown you may want to put a sheet of foil over it for the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking.

CHALLAH BREAD IN BREAD MACHINE (SALLYE)



CHALLAH BREAD IN BREAD MACHINE (SALLYE) image

Okay, I think I've got my challah bread recipe adapted for the bread machine. Here goes.

Provided by sallye bates

Categories     Other Breads

Time 3h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

BREAD DOUGH
1 c lukewarm milk
4 Tbsp softened butter (1/2 stick)
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp salt
3 c all purpose flour
2 tsp dry rapid rise yeast (1 pkg)
EGG WASH INGREDIENTS
1 large egg
1 Tbsp cold water
poppy seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Cut butter into small pieces, and place in saucepan with milk and sugar. Over medium heat bring to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to 110º-115º. NOTE: If milk is too hot, it will kill lthe yeast action. If you don't have a thermometer, test the milk on the inside of your wrist. It should be just barely lukearm. Sift flour and set aside.
  • 2. Whisk 2 eggs until light and frothy When milk is at proper temperature, add the eggs and salt to the milk and pour into bread machine pan.
  • 3. Carefullly pour flour into pan, making sure that all liquid is completely covered by flour. Make small indentation in center of flour and pour yeast there.
  • 4. OPTION ONE: Turn bread machine on to Dough cyclo. Machine will ding when dough cycle is complete. Remove dough from bread machine pan and place on floured work surface (waxed paper or cutting board). Cut dough into three equal pieces. Roll three pieces into long snakes about 18" long. Braid the snakes together into a loaf and tuck the ends under. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with cornmeal. Transfer the braided loaf to the baking sheet. Cover loaf with a clean towel or cheesecloth and let rise until nearly doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  • 5. Preheat oven to 350º Whisk the remaining egg and 1 tablespoon cold water together until light and frothy. With basting brush, lightly baste loaf evenly with egg wash. Sprinkle immediately with poppy seeds to taste.
  • 6. Cook in middle rack of oven for 50-55 minutes until loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when bottoms are thumped. Cool completely on racks before wrapping. Be sure and sneak a piece with honeyed butter while it's still hot (for quality control purposes of course).
  • 7. OPTION TWO: ALTERNATE METHOD FOR BAKING BREAD COMPLETELY IN BREAD MACHINE: If you don't want to braid the dough, use this method. Follow instructions steps 1 and 2 above. Skip instructions steps 3 through 6 above Turn bread machine to basic cycle, crust to medium. When cycle is complete, remove from bread machine and brush the bread with egg wash (1 egg & 1 tablespoon of water whisked briskly). Place in 350º oven for 5 minutes to "seal" the egg wash. Or, you can skip the egg wash and just brush with melted butter (Either way is fine).

BREAD MACHINE CHALLAH FOR SHABBAT AND FESTIVALS



Bread Machine Challah for Shabbat and Festivals image

A perfect recipe for arthritic hands that can't knead dough easily anymore! Recipe is written for a bread machine that makes 1.5 pound (700 gram) loaves. NOTE: Do NOT bake this dough in the machine. Use only the dough/pasta setting. There is too much fully-risen dough for the machine to accommodate.

Provided by Tzipporah Hoffmitz

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Egg     Challah Recipes

Time 3h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 ½ teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons white sugar
¼ cup pareve margarine
1 egg
3 cups bread flour
2 ¼ teaspoons bread machine yeast
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Place the warm water, salt, sugar, margarine, egg, bread flour, and yeast in the pan of a bread machine in that order, set the machine to the dough setting, and start the machine.
  • When the dough cycle of the machine is finished, place the dough on a floured surface. Divide the dough into 3 pieces, and roll them into ropes about the thickness of your thumb and about 12 inches long. Ropes should be fatter in the middle and thinner at the ends. Pinch 3 ropes together at the top and braid them. Starting with the strand to the right, move it to the left over the middle strand (that strand becomes the new middle strand.) Take the strand farthest to the left, and move it over the new middle strand. Continue braiding, alternating sides each time, until the loaf is braided, and pinch the ends together and fold them underneath for a neat look.
  • Grease a baking sheet, or line with parchment paper, and place the braided challah on the prepared sheet. Cover the loaf with a plastic bag to prevent drying out, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk together 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of water, and vanilla in a small bowl, and brush the glaze on the challah. Sprinkle with optional toppings (see footnote).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes.

THE BEST BREAD MACHINE CHALLAH



The Best Bread Machine Challah image

This recipe originally comes from Kosher by Design by Susie Fishbein. I've been making this challah every week for the last two months, and it makes a delicious, rich challah. I don't use the bread machine method, making the dough in my Kenwood mixer and giving the final knead by hand, then braiding the challah and baking it in the oven. I'm posting this as a bread machine recipe at the request of Miraklegirl. BTW, I don't use all the water called for in the recipe, I usually add a bit at a time until I'm happy with the consistency of the dough.

CHALLAH BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)



Challah Bread (Bread Machine) image

From 100 Bread Machine Recipes by Vicki Smallwood. The saffron is what gives this its unique golden yellow color. This doesn't last long whenever I make this. Cooking time does NOT include dough cycle time.
