--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                cup  warm water
      1/4           cup  olive oil
   2                     eggs
   1 1/2      teaspoons  salt
      1/3           cup  sugar
   2               cups  white spelt flour
   2               cups  whole grain spelt flour
   4          teaspoons  xanthan gum
      1/4         ounce  dry yeast -- (1 envelope)
   1                     egg -- beaten
   1         tablespoon  poppy seeds

I got a challah recipe from my husband and tweaked it to use spelt 
flour. This recipe makes a beautiful 2 lb braided challah. I like to 
divide the dough in 3; make two loaves and one little roll. I like to 
try different toppings each time I make this recipe, such as sesame 
seeds, dried onion flakes, granulated garlic, kosher salt, or flax seeds.

Pour the water, olive oil, and eggs into a bread machine pan. Add 
salt, sugar, spelt flours, xanthan gum, and yeast. Place into bread 
machine and set to dough cycle. Check on the dough as it is mixing to 
ensure that it mixes well. Use a rubber scraper to scrape down the 
sides of the pan if needed.

When the dough has finished, remove and divide into 3 pieces. Shape 
each piece into an 18" long rope. Braid the three ropes together, 
seal the tips together, and fold under the loaf. Place the braided 
loaf onto a greased baking sheet, cover with a soft cloth, and allow 
to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Brush the loaf with beaten egg, and 
sprinkle with poppy seeds.

Bake in preheated oven until the challah has turned golden brown, and 
the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, 40 to 45 minutes.
