How To make Challah
Ingredients
3
pk
yeast
1 1/3
cup
water, warm (110?-115?)
1
tablespoon
granulated sugar
1
teaspoon
salt
3
tablespoon
butter, or margerine, softened
3
lg
eggs, lightly beaten
6
cup
flour, unbleached white
1
each
egg, well beaten with 1 tb of water
1
poppy seeds
Directions:
Add 1 Tablespoon sugar and yeast to warm water, stir well and 'proof'
the yeast (I'm old-fashioned and still do this). After the yeast
proofs, add the rest of the sugar, butter/margerine, 3 lightly beaten
eggs, and five cups flour. As your stir together, add salt (done this
way because salt can kill yeast if added directly). Beat ingredients
with a spoon, gradually adding flour, until dough is stiff. Knead on
board until dough is smooth and elastic (8-10mins).
Cover and let rise in warm place -- until about doubled in size
(1.5-2hrs).
Punch down and knead dough until all the bubbles are gone. Divide
into 6 parts, roll each part between your hands into a rope about 1 inch
in diameter. Braid 3 ropes each into 2 loaves. Place two braids
about 6 inches apart on a buttered/margerined cookie sheet, and allow to
raise in a warm place until almost doubled in size. Brush tops with
egg/water wash and sprinkle lightly with poppy seeds. Bake in
pre-heated 400? oven for 35-40 mins, or until loaves sound hollow when
tapped. Cool covered with a soft towel on racks.

CHALLAH + How to Avoid The Most Common Mistakes When Making It
Challah (yield: 1 550g/1.2 lb loaf)
1/2 c (113g) water, warm
1.5 tsp (4.5g) instant yeast
2.25 c (315g) bread flour
2 Tbsp (25g) sugar
1 tsp (6g) fine salt
2 Tbsp (25g) oil
1 egg
1 egg yolk
extra egg for the egg wash
1. Stir together the warm water and yeast and leave alone for a minute to let the yeast dissolve.
2. Add all the remaining ingredients and mix until the dough comes together.
3. Knead the dough until it has reached full gluten development.
4. Add the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size (about 1.5 - 2 hrs).
5. Deflate the dough and divide into six equal pieces (roughly 90g each).
6. Roll each piece into a rough cylinder, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
7. Roll each cylinder so that it is larger in the middle and tapered on the ends.
8. Braid the challah.
9. Brush with oil to prevent the dough from drying and developing a skin. Let rise until a slight indent in the dough springs back slowly and halfway (about 1.5 - 2 hrs)
10. Brush with egg wash and bake at 375F for 25-30 min or golden brown.
