THE BEST BREAD MACHINE CHALLAH
After trying out several different bread machine challah recipes, I have come to find the best one. The challah it produces is so light and the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The bread machine I own is an Oster, nothing fancy. As with all bread machine recipes, I will say every once in a while I will have a flop, no idea why this happens sometimes. This recipe calls for 3 yolks, so I will post a link for something easy to do with the whites: Ultra Moist Easy Chocolate Bundt Cake. Everytime I make challah, I also make this cake.

Steps:

Use a pastry brush and paint the challahs with beaten egg covering the entire loaf.

BREAD MACHINE CHALLAH FOR SHABBAT AND FESTIVALS
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.

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
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.

- Divide the dough in half. Then divide into 3 equal pieces, roll into ropes about 12 to 14 inches, and braid into a loaf. Do the same with the remaining other half. Gently put the loaves on a greased cookie sheet, mist with water, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours in a warm, draft free place, until double in size.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients, especially the yeast. Old or inactive yeast can prevent the bread from rising properly.
- Make sure the water is warm, but not hot. Hot water can kill the yeast.
- Add the ingredients to the bread machine in the correct order. This is important for the proper mixing and rising of the dough.
- Use the correct bread machine setting. Most bread machines have a specific setting for challah.
- If you are using a bread machine for the first time, it is a good idea to consult the manufacturer's instructions.
- If you are not using a bread machine, you can follow the recipe to make the dough by hand. However, it will take longer and require more effort.
- Once the dough is made, it needs to be braided. There are many different ways to braid challah. You can find instructions and video tutorials online.
- Before baking, the challah needs to be proofed. This means letting it rise in a warm place for a period of time. This will allow the dough to double in size.
- Bake the challah according to the recipe instructions. The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of the challah.
Conclusion:
Challah is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or used in a variety of recipes. It is a popular choice for holidays and special occasions, but it can also be enjoyed as an everyday bread. With a bread machine, making challah is easy and convenient. By following these tips, you can make perfect challah every time.
