Cooking Recipe Challah Iii
Recipe Ingredients
GLAZE
Directions
Dissolve the yeast with the warm water and sugar. Add the rest of the
sugar, butter, salt, honey, raisins and eggs. Add the flour, a cup at
a time, until it is hard to stir.
Turn out onto a well-floured counter and knead until smooth and
blistery, adding more flour as necessary (about 10-15 minutes). Put
into greased bowl, cover, and let rise until double, about 1 hr.
Punch down. Separate into 4 sections and separate each section into
3 more sections. Roll each piece out to the size of your cookie
sheet. Braid 3 strands together and place on cookie sheet. Let rise
until double (about 1 hour).
Mix egg yolks and water for glaze. Spread on loaves. Bake in a
preheated oven at 350 degrees F. for 15-30 minutes until there is a
golden crust.
NOTES:
* Jewish egg bread -- This is my family's version of Challah. It
calls for saffron, but I've never actually made it as such (Hey, I'm
just a poor college student, I can't afford saffron).
: Difficulty: easy, if you know how to make bread
: Time: 20 minutes preparation, several hours rising, 30 minutes
cooking : Precision: Raisins are to taste. Measure the rest of the
ingredients.
