Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3.25 cups Bread flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Directions
Step 1
Add the warm water, eggs, honey, and vegetable oil to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Step 2
Sprinkle the salt over the liquid ingredients.
Step 3
Carefully add the bread flour, ensuring it completely covers the liquid ingredients.
Step 4
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast, ensuring it does not touch the liquid.
Step 5
Select the 'Dough' cycle on your bread machine and start the machine. Allow the machine to mix, knead, and proof the dough (typically takes about 90 minutes).
Step 6
Once the 'Dough' cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine and place it on a lightly floured surface.
Step 7
Divide the dough into three equal portions. Roll each portion into a long rope, approximately 12–14 inches in length.
Step 8
Braid the three ropes together, pinching the ends to seal. Transfer the braided loaf to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 9
Cover the loaf loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 30–45 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
Step 10
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 11
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash generously over the risen challah loaf.
Step 12
Bake the challah in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 13
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
