1/2 cup warm water -- (110F/45C)
3 tablespoons white sugar -- divided
4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast -- 1/2 oz, 2 packages

I make this challah for my family and family gatherings in Colorado,
and it turns out beautifully each time. I hope you enjoy it as much
as my family does! If you'd like, sprinkle poppy or sesame seeds
before baking, but we never do.

Combine the warm water, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and the yeast in a
measuring cup. Let stand until the yeast dissolves and starts to
foam, 5 to 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat 2 eggs. Put the egg yolks in a measuring cup
and add enough milk to equal 1/3 cup with the yolks in it. Pour this
in with the eggs and then stir in the yeast mixture, butter, salt and
remaining sugar. Gradually mix in the flour until the dough is firm
enough to handle. Knead the dough on a floured surface until the
dough does not stick to your hands. You will probably use more flour
while kneading. Place the dough into an oiled bowl and turn to coat.
Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Cut the dough into 3 or 4 even portions and roll into long ropes.
Braid and tuck the ends under. Place the loaf on a baking sheet and
cover loosely with plastic wrap. Set in a warm place to rise. Bread
is ready to bake when your finger leaves an impression in the dough.
Preheat the oven to 350F (175C). Whisk the remaining egg in a cup
with a fork. Brush onto the loaf. This will give the bread a lovely
golden color and delicious crust.
Bake until the loaf is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped
on the bottom, about 35 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and
cool on a wire rack
