Categories     Breads

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 medium challahs

Number Of Ingredients 8

7 cups flour (1 kg)
2 tablespoons dry yeast
5 -8 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 cup oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 egg, beaten
sesame seeds or poppy seed

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients except the salt into a large bowl. Begin kneading. When a ball of dough is formed, add the salt. Knead the dough for approximately 10 minutes, until the douh is smooth and soft, but not sticky.
  • Brush the dough and bowl with a bit of oil, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let the dough rise in a warm place for approximately 1 hout, until the dough doubles in volume.
  • After the dough has risen, knead it for a few minutes. Roll pieces of dough into strands to be braided.
  • To make more airy challahs, roll out each strand into strips, ca. 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thick. Roll each strip jellyroll fashion to from a tube and use these to braid the challahs.
  • Place the challahs on a baking sheet to rise. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds. COver and let rise again in a warm place for ca. 40 minutes. In the meantime, preheat oven to 350 F (180 C).
  • Bake for approximately 30 minutes, until the challahs turn golden brown. Remove the challahs from the oven and from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
