It's time to put your braiding skills to good use! Challah is an egg
enriched loaf that's traditionally braided and makes the most
beautiful presentation. Similar to brioche, the bread is slightly
sweet and wonderfully soft inside. Any leftover bread makes the
perfect slice for french toast.
PREP: 10 MINS
TOTAL: 3:30
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine lukewarm water, yeast, and
1 teaspoon sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, add flour,
remaining 1/3 cup sugar, and salt and whisk to combine. Add yeast
mixture, oil, and eggs and mix on medium speed until a smooth dough
is formed and pulls away from the side of the bowl, about 10 to 15
minutes. Dough will still be slightly sticky.
Place dough into a greased bowl and let rise, covered, until
doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured
surface, remove dough and and divide into 3 equal pieces. Roll each
piece into a 20" long rope, about 1" wide. Place ropes onto prepared
baking sheet and pinch tops together and tuck under. Wet your hands
lightly to help pinch together, if necessary.
Braid dough into one long rope. Pinch bottom ends together and tuck
under braid. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise until an
indention remains after poking the dough and almost doubled, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350F. Beat egg, water, and sugar together and brush
over risen dough. Sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds, if desired.
Bake until bread is golden, 25 minutes. Let cool to room temperature
before slicing.
