I love this challah recipe! It has no eggs and very little oil but tastes delicious. This recipe can be easily made in a KitchenAid mixer or a bread machine. Although the maple syrup glaze isn't very conventional, I think it tastes great.

HIGH-ALTITUDE CHALLAH



High-Altitude Challah image

I make this challah for my family and family gatherings in Colorado, and it turns out beautifully each time. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does! If you'd like, sprinkle poppy or sesame seeds before baking, but I never do. Videos for instructions on how to braid a six-strand challah can be found by entering "braiding a 6-strand challah" into the Search box at http://www.youtube.com (I originally saw the one by MayaSophia, on her blog). I always braid mine with the six-strand method now (shown in my picture), because it looks so pretty! *NOTE*: Prep time does NOT include time it take for the dough to rise.

Time 55m

Yield 1 large loaf, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
3 tablespoons white sugar, divided
2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/3 cup milk (as needed)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg

Steps:

  • Combine the warm water, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and the yeast in a measuring cup. Let stand until the yeast dissolves and starts to foam, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat 2 eggs. Put the egg yolks in a 1/3 measuring cup and add enough milk to equal 1/3 cup with the yolks in it. Pour this into the bowl with the eggs and pour in the yeast mixture, butter, salt, and remaining (2 tablespoons + 2 1/2 tsp.) sugar. Gradually mix in the flour until the dough is firm enough to handle.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface until the dough does not stick to your hands. You will probably use more flour while kneading.
  • Place the dough into an oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Cut the dough into 3 even portions and roll into long ropes. Press one set of ends together, and braid and tuck the other set of ends under, pressing gently (see the intro, above, for a video link to braiding a six-strand challah).
  • Place the loaf on a greased baking sheet and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Set in a warm place to rise. Bread is ready to bake when your finger leaves an impression in the dough.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk the remaining egg in a small bowl. Brush onto the loaf. This will give the bread a lovely golden color and delicious crust.
  • Bake until the loaf is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, about 35 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
  • *To make rolls: Follow the steps to prepare the dough, and let it rise until it is doubled in size. Divide the dough into 15-16 even pieces (about 2 oz. [weight] each), and craft into desired shape. Brush with egg wash (as you would the bread), and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Use warm water (110-115°F) and add sugar to it. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is foamy. This ensures that the yeast is active and will help the dough rise properly.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the challah its chewy texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to double in size. You can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on, or in a sunny spot.
  • Shape the dough: You can shape the dough into a variety of shapes, such as a braid, a round loaf, or a star. Be creative and have fun with it!
  • Bake the challah at a high temperature: This will give the challah a golden brown crust. Bake the challah for 30-35 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
  • Glaze the challah with maple syrup: This will give the challah a sweet and sticky glaze. You can also sprinkle the challah with sesame seeds or poppy seeds before baking.

Conclusion:

This eggless challah recipe with maple syrup glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is soft, fluffy, and has a slightly sweet flavor. The maple syrup glaze adds a touch of sweetness and shine. This challah is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
